spend the extra money and get the edelbrock instead,,the marine have inconel valves already,,stay away from procomp heads for marine use,,from what i have seen they dont last long.

It's not that you can't use the iron heads, they will detonate sooner than aluminum heads.

we did,088,vortech,502's.they were hp500' efi's.all stock,except we changed the cam to 240,248.made 775hp w/ a .97% corection factor.all tuned on a mefi4b w/ the knock sensors working.going on our 3rd season,boats a 38' formula w/ arnesons.

There is absolutely no reason in the world that you can't put a supercharger on an engine with 088 heads. Will aluminum heads make more power? Sure. But that doesn't mean it can't be done. We do it all the time. You just have to keep the boost in check and not get crazy.
