Procharger M1-SCB kit install complete on my 6.2s. Shop is going to air it today and see what she does. Initial test revealed some drive trim issues (see other post), but both motors ran great. Also installed some drive shower hoses to my latham setup. Spinning labbed 32 Bravos.
Maybe K planes next winter!

Cool! Any pics? Not sure if you posted more details in another thread, but did you have any other modifications to the engines other than adding the blower? Did they dyno the engines? Keep us updated on the progress. Thanks.

I will have some pics after this weekend. No significant mods to the motors. Thought we might have to change Tstat and reflash the ecm, but not needed according to Procharger. My shop swapped out plugs and wires for some high performance products. Also had to add intercooler dumps out the back end.
System would probably benefit from an aftermarket exhaust which is also on my list for the future. Recommendations for a SBC exhaust would be appreciated!

I wouldn't mess around...go right for the CMI's made for the 383 Magnum, around $1850-1950 each. Stock motor showed 30HP and 39 FtLbs netted. Test data provided on their website and tech support to determine if its a match. What were the drive trim issues? I'll be following your updates over the summer.

Very interested to see what/how these 292's run with some decent power in them. I wouldn't go too crazy with boost. Heard mixed things about pro-chargers on stock 6.2's without being beefed up and I believe there was a member on here a while back that went down this road too. Cannot remember how the boat ended up running. Good luck and get some PICS! I would second the exhaust

Love to hear details. I'm interested for my Donzi. What shop did the work? My brother lived in Pensacola for a while and couldn't find a shop that really knew what they were doing.
The compression is lower on the 6.2's than the 350 mag so I'd think they will really wake up to even mild boost.

Really excited to hear how this turns out! My close friend is so upside down in his 07 292 that he is stuck with it and his only option is to supercharge or live with it. Hopefully your story motivates him to supercharge!

- and no exhaust system.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I chased down problems with blown rigs for about a decade then went all NA (expensive to make power) but have been a much happier boater since.
Will be watching this one from the sidelines....
