Thats what Merc used on the 525SC.

Use can use them but keep boost low like around 3-4 lbs. This type of blower is the least efficient and generates some heat in the boost process.

I would put a little hotter cam along with better exhaust and run 4 lbs boost and you should be close to 400 hp.

Merc uses a custom built version of the 177 blower on the 525,its flanged to take a dominator. The street version is the same blower with the small holley bolt pattern. I have replaced a few 525 blowers with the street blower due to the ridiculous price mercury charges. All you need to swap them is a 20 dollar 4150 to 4500 carb adaptor plate run upside down. The initial quality of the blower is not great by any means though. As for what can you expect, a frien ran 355cid smallies with 177's and good exhaust and made 420 hp on the dyno.
