Nice results and nice little performance small block! Bobl does great work and he knows his stuff!
Kind of curious, what kind of boost does this engine generate between 3500-4000rpms?
Have fun in that little "pocket rocket" and be safe!

Been a lot of talk about supercharges, turbos, and big power N/A motors but not a lot of small block builds so thought I'd share this one, have run it for 1 season with 80 hrs on it and it's a absolute blast, thing accelerates faster than a corvette, 45-85 happens in a heartbeat!!

Glad to hear you are having so much fun in that little monster. Just keep it on the bottom-stay off the top!
I was asking about boost in that rpm range because hopefully the engine will stay out of boost in that rpm range in a non-WOT use so it can be cruised in a non-boosted situation to save fuel, life for the engine and supercharger wine in a cruising mode and still produce some decent roque numbers in that rpm range.
I wanted to see if supercharging the smallblock is a viable option for the average small block boater who might have lets say twins in a 28-30 foot boat who needs the added power but also has to consider engine life and fuel economy at crusing rpms in a bigger heavier boat in sometimes offshore use. Obviously in a small lake type 18-22 foot boat this is easier to attain.
