Saltwater Chevy's really were designed to run on the governor at all times. They got bad press from being installed between truck frame rails. Those engines
don't like low rpm, in a boat there on the throttle at a steady rpm. The tops of the pistons have what is called fire slots, with boost from the blower the pressure
enters the fire slot and behind the rings. Which in turn keeps the rings expanded and way less crankcase pressure. The worst thing to do is idle one.IMO
Fire it up build air pressure and slam it to the wood.
