ok i talked to procharger today and went over the motor i am building. they told me with 6lbs of boost i should have 850-900hp. i have know idea if this is going to be to much for my 25' switzer. i only have a stock bravo 1. what drive or upgrades do i need with this kind of power. i run like 600hp now and have never had a problem with my bravo 1, but i do not take off like a retard. and advise would be great.

Plus there is less oil being thrown around from the moving mass of the rods and crank.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think when your up around those numbers 900HP+ or so, it isn't a bad choice, but expensive. Call around and see what some others think.

hi 502.How do you like your switzer?Are they well made?I see quite a few for sale in the boat trader and was curious.
How fast is your boat and how does it handle rough water?

If you are planning to make that kind of HP you should run a dry sump system. It will make more HP and be safer for the engine. Check out this website for more info; www.johnsonsoilpumps.com.
There is a good section in there to explain how they work.
