Re: Whipple or procharger for 7.4
I wouldn't suggest putting a blower on a 1990 BB unless it was rebuilt with good internals, such. I would however probably go with the pro's dependin on the weight of the boat. A whip will pull better out of the hole and maybe the mid,with a better flatter hp-tq curve,are about 40% more effichant then a roots blower, but the pro's will make more top end power and if your doing alot of that kind of running they would make the most power.. dont forget to have them inner cooled, run cold plugs.. Good luck jmo

To be honest, if you arn't full on racing it, beating the **** out of it all the time, I would get a eagle crank, some stock shot peened rods, forged pistons, speed pro,weisco, ect, as J-E, ross ,aries are going to be a bit more, put a decent cam and get the stock heads done, have the engine balanced, and you will be good to go, unless money isn't a issue.. Then it is endless on the things you can have. Again some might disagree, but you can beat on an engine if it is balanced, done right, don't have to have the best stuff in it.. JMO

I agree, anything is better than the cast junk GM put in it. If you don't do it now you'll be doing it soon enough. Stroke it while you're in there too, it won't cost any more $.
