Roots supercharger intake question
 
Are there any better or worse blower intakes for 6/71 or 8/71s?

I like the ones w/ the raised floor as opposed to the flat ones.airflow into the ports looks nicer.

It is time for me. I have a 525sc that has run flawless for 9 years. I know its time to do something. I was going to upgrade boats, but I love my Checkmate , I can't let it go, so an engine upgrade is the next step!

Same for me . The HP500 ran perfect for 13 years , of coarse with a spring change , but on the last outing I noticed a 1 mph drop in speed . When I tore it down I found failing head gaskets . I am excited about getting blown and working with Marine Kinetics . Not excited about the associated costs but this is my last hurrah as father time takes his toll . I keep telling myself this is all I do , my only hobby . ;) :boat:

If you got 13 years out of her with no issues, she took damn good care of you. You're already money ahead of the game :)
