I see on the ProCharger website they offer kits for everything up to 500EFI but no kit for 525...? Would it be feasable to buy the kits for the 500's and slightly modify the bracketry to fit on the 525 (if it even needed modding)?
Yes, i also know whipple makes kits and they are badass... But just weighing all options.

Personally, I wouldn't even consider cobbling together a Procharger kit when I could bolt on a Whipple. It is such a better piece but there is really no comparison between the 2. With the Procharger, who would you get to do the programming of the ecm? Procharger certainly can't do it. Also, the bolt pattern on the ends of the heads (where the Procharger brackets bolt up)are different between the 500 (and any other derivative) and the 525. So, you would need to modify or custom make the brackets. Just not worth it IMO.

Lmao... Well i cant find any info on when this hardin marine TT kit is coming out, which would save me buying CMI's, but it just seems like the whipple is highway robbery @ $11k per side. I think the Hardin is the better deal if it turns out to be reliable.

another alternative... http://www.hardin-marine.com/p-26619...y-525-efi.aspx
that way i could keep it NA and still be over 600hp per side... also- HALF the price... which is very appealing, and also easier on the drives
Any experience with these or their tunes? Hoping not to comprimise too much reliability or longevity of the motors.

or...for the $$$ that you would spend on all that crap you could just build some 700+ hp N/A motors and be done with it and still have money left over. you know as well as I that once you get into those motors and put chargers on them they will only appeal to a certain crowd. WAIT....isn't this something similar to what you told me when I was thinking about putting different power in my boat.? lol
