Default procharger question

Is it best to run carb boxes or the carb hat? I have heard different opinions. Is anyone running the hats?

Not Sure I Run Boxes But Its A Bit*** To Work On Carbs, Procharger Should Redesign The Box So There Is A Plate Under The Carb And The Whole Box Comes Off Ifrom The Plate Instead Of Just The Top Half Of The Box.

boxes work best on a marine application, hat often finds leaks in the carbs also or makes them, questions for you, do you run in fresh or salt water? if salt how old are your intercoolers?

I had planned on using boxes, but procharger recommended the carb shop, who said no way would they use the box. They said that they have had great luck with hats on boats.

Procharger has a good product but their tech support is lacking. I would bet the person that told you to use a hat had no idea what he was talking about. Gas fumes and boats do not go together. One and only choice if using a carb is a box. If you are using port efi and throttle body then you could use hat.
