this is not a Pantera topic, but i would like to know about opinions of Pantera owners.

a friend of mine who is Cigarette dealer here has a spare 700 sci supercharger. he asked me if we can install it to 525 EFI. mercury service in Turkey doesn't know anything about chargers so we will try an experiment.

any ideas if it's a good idea or a stupid way to destroy 2 marvelous mechanics?

the more power the better!!!! my friend has a whippled 525 making over 800 horse in his pantera and it runs great... mine will be blown over the winter

I would like to hear more about this boat. ,Sorry for the hijack... maybe a new thread needed

not a boat actually. just engine and charger for the time being. spares we can call for his company. if we succeed i would think of installing on my up-coming 28. for sure i will need to change hatch. i wonder if it is possible to modify using exact 700 nxt charger? i know i will need tuning that is for sure

tomcei are you going to cumberland this weekend? im dragging down from buffalo ny. my friends is a 03 28 american flag boat. i will try to dig up a pic. its a 525 stroked to 540 with a whipple. 850 horse. runs low-mid 80's. his fit under his engine hatch. my pantera came with a 525sc and fit under the hatch so i dont see any reason to modify your hatch

here it is

88Bullet, Can't make Cumberland.

If I had my drive I might. My ride has been parked for far too long. I have a few things finally coming together for me so it should be going by spring.


Berk, I would think there is info out there for you regarding the combo you asked about.

tomcei what kind of power are you running? what year pantera do you have?

1995. 580ci 900/900
I'm waiting to bolt up an SCX.

tomcei. are you running a extension box? whats your drive height going to be set at in relation to your hull with your new drive. im trying to get my prop slip problem figured out and if i cant i think im going to end up rigging my boat like b-stubb had his. big power and a box
