Default Procharger experts....

A guy locally is selling a Procharger setup and MPI intake. His boat has a 502 MPI, and he's selling the boat and this loose kit. Is it the same setup for a 454 MPI as a 502 MPI? I've got some research to do.

Anyone with firsthand knowledge of installation issues, hours, etc.? Setup?

I don't know much about S/Cs, but I can get it for a really good price. I'm just thinking of grabbing it for a future upgrade.... hadn't really planned on it. Here's a pic he has on his ad, says he has all the parts.... :

Same thing, that fits the 454 but you might want to have the ECM re-mapped for your motor...?

Too bad Procharger supply's the kit "wrong". Their fuel delivery system is sh!t & even when installed per their instruction meltdown is gonna happen.
Procharger needs a proper fuel system & a properly tuned ECM to be reliable. There can be no other argument to this on a marine application.

Right, when my buddy bought his 353 with HP500/prochargers the previous owner smoked one engine every summer, my buddy re designed system and used A1000 Pumps, I 5/8 feed 1/2" return lines, runs around 800hP 7lbs boost 107MPH 4 seasons now...

One key is O2 sensors to monitor A/F and EGT to monitor temps..

Blowers are great IF you do your homework and make em right....

best bang for buck powerwise..
