Question 496 Ho w/procharger

I am concidering putting a pair of Prochargers on a 2002 Formula 353 w/496 HO's. I have not seen much discussion about this set up. Looking for some pros/cons or other suggestions.

I have one on my 496HO. Only running 3.5 lbs of boost but I have been very happy. No problems so far, and picked up about 8mph. I've only put about 20-25hrs on mine but it has been very reliable. We did add an oil cooler just in case.

Installed one on mine this winter but have not been able to test it yet (weather). I have the 3.5lb kit as well and am expecting roughly an 8-9mph increase once I get the right prop.

When it comes to boats, that old saying "enough is never enough" holds very true.
