Thanks for the info, but not really enough to make an educated decision. I guess what I will do is list every maker of supercharger on a spinning wheel then spin it like I'm playing wheel of fortune and whatever manufacturer the wheel lands on I will order the most expensive one from that manufacturer. LOL! It is very hard to make a decision when everyone claims they make the best supercharger out there and nothing else compares. I do not have the bank roll to start trying them all to see what really is the best.

Yes it can get crazy expensive, I played that game in the late 80s and early 90s, then went back to NA motors Not as fast but cheaper to run.

Unless your doing EFI you will pull your hair out on the procharger set-up & tune ,should'nt be hard to find the thread on here with the turd pro charger motors that can't get out of its own way.The PSI will make huge power if you can get one delivered lol, a lil word of advice don't order 1 now you'll be thankin me later . P.S. i do believe Boostpower has there own 10 L ready to ship.
Jeff

your right about m4 carbed being a challange,but they make big power on top.

Having the same problem Jason . I put together a pair of 598's and I did a lot of home work on this and my thought is the 8.3 whipple will make between 1100 & 1200 with no problem . Just having a hard time spending 21 K per motor then another 10 K per side to switch out my XR uppers for SCX's . I feel your pain !!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jeff you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Jason , good vibes racing has a pair of 14-71 hi helix blowers used. Priced right too.

Mike Tkach has a couple 10-71's, and a 16-71 on the shelf he might sell ???

That power level with a 598 should be no problem for a properly spec'd roots deal. Talk to Mark Rinda at M.E.R. He can set you up with everything you need.

We all know the Saying "if you want to play you gotta Pay" never more true then the marine industry, It's like the chain therory what is going to be the weak link in the build? Well Nothing if you have the Cash.

So good luck with your project, hope you get it fiqured out, should be nice when finished.

I think Haxby answered my question, a roots style blower will get me to my HP goals and at a lot less cash. Now just got to iron out the combinations available.

The way I look at it if you are only building let's say a 500 HP engine there is no reason to spend the money on a crank and rods rated for 2500 HP now is there.
