At 1200hp, no real advantage and hard to pulley properly. SC's would almost run 1:1.

Thanks

Any difference in running the blowers as the 5.0 or the 8.3.

If they go in the boat in the thread by LESSONLEARNED the drives are either Arnesons or BPMs. I don't think any Merc drive can hold that power.

Really comes down to rpm, some of the others are getting 1400+hp on pump gas and typically go 75-125hrs depending on the DC of the engine.

They're different big chiefs then most run and the cam is not very big considering the power.
