According to some things I've read about regarding roots blowers, is that a tighter blower, will make more boost, however, it will also make more heat. A looser blower, makes less boost, but also less heat. I almost wonder if the 540ci build, with the stage 3 style blower, simply made more heat, because of the tighter tolerances. 20-25 degree hotter at idle.

I now see the benefits of intercooling for max HP applications thanx to the gauge. The intercooled motor ran 25* cooler can`t argue with that.
In my personal application which is a low effective compression ratio, underdriven blower, I could spend a nice chunk of $$ for intercoolers and gain about 25hp.. or just turn up the boost another pound .
More good data will be collected on a 90* day and a WOT run

No the boat is rigged for them and I thought it looked like sh!t trying to plug all the rigging on the boat to leave them off. Plus if I know I am going to be running it super hard I like to be able to use them!

Ok, been doing some reading here. I have water getting into the motor somehow and I'm beginning to think it's the intercooler, haven't pressure tested it yet. Can these things leak bad enough to get a considerable amount of water in the crank case?
Also, have capped off and pressure tested the block, the oil cooler, done a leak down on each cylinder, all checks out.
At this point my only two options seem to be reversion or the intercooler

a leaking cooler
can put water in the intake tract,that will push right through the rings and into the oil.a lot of other issues can milk the oil but you need to pressure check your cooler cores before you take the boat out again.
