As you can see by the above posts we're a little short on Merc dealers who would undertake a project like this. Thanks again for your help. Peter
the hot set up is vortech for your boat....http://vortechmarine.com/products_01.php

Thanks Fixx, never heard of them. Sent them an e mail for dealers in southern Ontario. Always open to options. You any idea how they compare to a Procharger system in pricing? Procharger is $5500.00 for the small blower.

It's all good, no need to apologize. Actually I know the guy that started Entec back in the early 70's. it's changed hands so many times, my personal advice would be to steer clear of them.

Thanks for the input, I see I'm not the only drag racer on here. Will do my homework on it and go from there. If you know anybody looking for a drag car mines for sale. 87 Camaro p/s built by Willie Rells. Perfect t/s car. Will sell complete or part out, also a Pace 32' tri axle trailer loaded. 555 ci shafforoff short block. Heads and intake done by Bishoff, too much to list. Thanks Peter.

You might want to contact Tomcat on the board here -- he has put together a package for the intercooler that works with the vortech/prochargers -- he can probably steer you to a good installation shop. His intercooler goes by R-tech. He is out of Toronto area.

Thanks Delsol, I will do that. At this time it will be a winter project. Where is Kingsville? I wonder if this is the ghost mechanic I've been looking for all along. Lol.

Kingsville is 2 hours west of you -- just south of Windsor.

Good Luck with your project.

Apparently a little too far to get together for a cold one. Lol, Windsor from us is 31/2 hours. Thanks for all your input. Peter.
