Does a centrifugal charger add much noise? I'm guessing that there would be quite an induction howl. The reason I ask is that I'm going to have to notch my tall valve cover and wondering if it's worthwhile to try to accommodate fitting an air boot on there for a filter while I'm fabricating things to keep the engine bay noise minimal.

Didn't seem all that loud on the Dyno, just a slight whine.. Never ran one in a boat though.. What valve covers do you have ? I have the angled ones from CP and they clear just fine...

I just ordered these and haven't actually tried to fit them yet. It may squeak by and in that case I'll live with it first and see, but if I'm cutting and welding I may try to squeeze a boot on there.

Not real loud, this was my M-3sc on Crocketts dyno a while back at the 1000+ hp level : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB5ZN0rYTo0

Yes, but probably no more than any other style blower.

My vortech was obnoxious at idle, to the point I switched to a whipple. The vortech anything above idle is silent for the most part. The whipple by contrast is the opposite, silent at idle and whines under power. Which I'm ok with.

Wicked!

How hot does the housing get? I need to run the hose from the thermostat to the headers in that little space between the charger and valve cover.

Which combo do like better as far as useable power in the boat?

If an injector has "choked flow" it is no longer sensitive to down stream pressure if the delta is great enough.
