The salt water has eaten my brain enough to wanna go forward with my plan to Procharge my 2001 Baja H2X. Here are my specs and questions.

2001 Baja H2X 24' with the Mercury MX 6.2L MPI, 377 CI, 320hp. 1.50 Ratio Bravo 1 Drive

I talked to Willy today at MAC Performance in Florida and he set up a kit for me $5,400.00 out the door. It is the 5.7L kit set up for a 6.2L pushing 5 PSI and he said I don't need to upgrade the fuel delivery system unless I decide to go higher in boost. Has anyone else dealt with him or his company before he talked like hes setup quite a few larger boats? I also want to know if there is anything I should do to the drive Mercury says its good up to 400 HP as is and I can't immagine on 5 PSI it will be pushing over 450 HP.

the drive will survive if you keep out of the throttle until you get going app 50 mph,no holeshots,that kills bravo drives,i dont know anything about procharged 6.2s.keep us informed,sounds like a great project.

The drive is the least of your worries . NO such thing as a bolt on and go pro charger !!!!!!!

If you have a Barvo 1 on the back now...why waste money on a pro charger when for a few dollars more you can get a big block and be better off in the long run.The BBC will drop right in without any mods. Your accessories should also bolt up leaving you with only exhaust to get. I dont care for superchargers myself because they are tough on a motor. I dont believe not needing to do anything to the fuel system either. Usually when a supercharged motor goes South...it is because it wasnt getting enough fuel...so it runs lean, gets hot and melts stuff down inside the motor...usually leaving you with an expensive trot line weight.

AMEN!!!

They recommended not changing the fuel system???? You are going to increase the power by approx. 50% and nothing needs to be done with the fuel system? What does the pickup in the fuel tank look like? How big is it? What about the fuel lines? The filter head with it's 1/4" npt fittings. Does it have an anti-siphon valve?
All of these items were installed with the stock 350 hp engine. That's what they are designed to support....not 450 hp. These things may be fine, but more than likely some or all need to be addressed. I can almost guarantee that the pickup in the tank is a plastic pickup tube with a VERY small hole. Then the adapter fitting that screws into the top of the pickup blocks off half of the hole, making it even smaller.
You are going to have a much higher fuel pressure with the Procharger. You are going to need to be able to move enough volume of fuel to supply that amount of increased pressure.
What I'm trying to say is that I have done a lot of Procharger setups and have seen tons of them come in that are in boxes because none of the items I mentioned were addressed. Make sure that you do it once, and do it right. If you can't afford to do it right, then wait until you can afford it. It will cost a little more to do it right, but it will save you a ton of money and heartache in the end.
As mentioned previously, there is NO such thing as a bolt on supercharger kit. If they told you up front about everything else that needed to be done, they would sell a whole lot less kits.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I would be glad to help you out the best I can with advice, etc. Find someone that you are comfortable with. Do some research on that person to be sure he does good work. Good luck.

With 450 hp, the B1 will work fine. For that power, it'll be better than an xr. Consider what others have said. When you are done with everythng, you could have installed a refreshed 502MPI with a Bob cam for the same money. Think about it.

Sent you a PM the other day, have you had time to take a look see?

Yea I don't mind spending the money to do it right I am stationed in a bum area and I would rather paddle my boat then take it one of these local shops haha. I am on my third inducted car so I know superchargers fairly well.

If you boat in salt water you need to determine the metallurgy of the intercooler. If it is aluminum like the old prochargers the intercooler will only last a year and they were $1200 in 1998!! Maybe not a deal killer but you need to be aware. Also, watch the intake if water leaks into the intake it will make a rusty mess.
