On a Formula 292 (current hull design) which power plants are the better candidate for pro or whipple chargers - the 350Mag or the 6.2's?

A buddy procharged his 6.2's in his 292 formula fast tech. These boats are a biatch to get on plane and worse after prochared beacuse of the larger props. You're going to want as much low end torgue as you can get. I think the 6.2 are tourqier(is that a word
) than the 5.7. I'd go for the 6.2's

Thanks for the insight Caincando1
So your buddy wouldn't go that route again? Perhaps 377 Scorpions are the better choice normally aspirated.

I believe either are equil canidates, I don't know if the 6.2 is more "stout" in the bottom end, but I can tell you
that it's nothing but a destroked 400 and uses a 350
crankshaft. They are both well balanced engines, but
hp to $.....the 350 would be the better choice. In a procharged application you wouldn't notice much differance. I also agree, a larger oil cooler would be
a good idea, especially if you plan on running the boat hard.
