Yes it can get crazy expensive, I played that game in the late 80s and early 90s, then went back to NA motors Not as fast but cheaper to run.

Having the same problem Jason . I put together a pair of 598's and I did a lot of home work on this and my thought is the 8.3 whipple will make between 1100 & 1200 with no problem . Just having a hard time spending 21 K per motor then another 10 K per side to switch out my XR uppers for SCX's . I feel your pain !!!!!!!!!!

Jason , good vibes racing has a pair of 14-71 hi helix blowers used. Priced right too.

Mike Tkach has a couple 10-71's, and a 16-71 on the shelf he might sell ???

That power level with a 598 should be no problem for a properly spec'd roots deal. Talk to Mark Rinda at M.E.R. He can set you up with everything you need.

We all know the Saying "if you want to play you gotta Pay" never more true then the marine industry, It's like the chain therory what is going to be the weak link in the build? Well Nothing if you have the Cash.

So good luck with your project, hope you get it fiqured out, should be nice when finished.

I think Haxby answered my question, a roots style blower will get me to my HP goals and at a lot less cash. Now just got to iron out the combinations available.

The way I look at it if you are only building let's say a 500 HP engine there is no reason to spend the money on a crank and rods rated for 2500 HP now is there.

I agree most stock internals will handle 800 HP, next the Drives, the props,the drive height, Ign, on and on.
I do wish the best and keep us posted!!
