supercharger questions??
 

Iam looking to enhance the performance and speed of my new to me 1999 32 fever. I have stock 502's currently running max 77mph gps.turning 26 hydros @5000rpms
350 hrs on engines running very strong with no issues.

thinking to fit the motors with prochargers. but I dont want to be in the shop or under the hatch every weekend .

one suggestion I got was this:

lavorsi prochargers with 502 program
running approx 4lb of boost
pushing 600+- hp
turn 28 or 30 4 blades
said i should see approx 10mph gain
but I want to feel somewhat safe and not run out of hull pushing 1200 hp behind 32 foot

need some help with my decision :eek:

Re: supercharger questions??
 

I had a 1993 32 Fever years ago (non-step) hull. I built up my 525 Sc's into 600 HP's. The boat ran an honest 93 MPH. A 38 Lightning with the new step hull will run 92 MPH out of the box.

My advice to you, your engines have a lot of hours on them to go with Pro-Chargers. If you want reliability, leave them alone, save your money and buy a 35 or 38 Lightning equipped with 525's. You gain the speed you want and keep the reliability.

Only a suggestion

thanks for suggestion, that was my original idea but iam not ready to step up to bigger just yet my new lift and dock configuration will not handle bigger than 32 foot

looking for a few pro and con suggestions, so keep replying all you fountain lovers out here

Iam not opposed to freshing up the uppers to bring the effective age of the motors up either.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

you will like the blowers, sounds like conserative boost :D

Re: supercharger questions??
 

You do not have enough room under the hatch for a roots type blower, a Vortech or Procharger might be an easier install.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

I was looking at the livorsi extreme procharger they claim 210+ hp gain on min boost, sounds like a nice product without going crazy on the motors. Any users of this type system out there I would Like to hear what you think.

Any one out there with pricing I would like to here from you too.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

I would say with the hours, at least a top end would be necessary and likely a complete valvetrain upgrade may be needed b4 you do any upgrades like this.
Call Fred (Too Old) at Trick Marine he is in good with Livorsi and has great pricing. I have heard nothing but good about the Livorsi system.

Good luck.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

anybody else running this system out there?

love to here your pros and cons

Re: supercharger questions??
 

We sell them for $4999.99. You will be running in the low 90's with that system!

Re: supercharger questions??
 

Is that a complete ready to install price per motor ie. nothing else needs to be purchased to complete the job.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

if i go with this system what props should i upgrade to

currently spinning 4 blade 26 hydros @4900-5000 rpm stock

i was figuring 4 blade 30 hydros

Re: supercharger questions??
 

i just finished install in my 2000 27 i put a whipple supercharger on hp 500 carb engine every thing clears except flame arrester need about 1/2 inch. clearence on front is about 3/4 inch to seat. nice kit

Re: supercharger questions??
 

More like 32 4 blades, we supercharged a 29 Fountain with twin 454mags and 177 Weiend Blowers and propped it at 32 pitch Bravos, It runs 91mph at 5000rpm. Yes the kit is complete.

Re: supercharger questions??
 

what is a 29 Fever non step (I presume) like at 91 mph??
honest answer........how much hp do you figure its pushing??
were they the 365 hp versions??

briana: we need a pic of you and your boat...... :D

Re: supercharger questions??
 

all i have are 35mm< I will take some digitals and post soon

Re: supercharger questions??
 

The 29 with twins is a handfull at 91mph, this 29 has one step, 1998 model. 454/ 365hp, we added 200hp with the supercharger

Re: supercharger questions??
 

sorry!!!.....dont mean to hijack this thread but not alot of hopped up twin 29s out there.......
so with 465hp/side you got 91mph.....correct?
want to build a set of 383 smallblocks up to around 400/425 or so for my non step 29 and trying to figure how fast it could go......I have no step but with aluminum exhaust/ intakes and a lightwieght engine hatch I'll be considerably lighter

Re: supercharger questions??
 

With 550hp each engine, it goes 91mph. So we added about 400hp to the boat.
