Just as the title reads. Say 502 with a 10/71 or 12/71 with low boost. Not racing ..... just farting around a lake with occassional blasts in the bay. Is it absolutely necessary to run the chillers for motor longevity or are they run strictly for more power?

BY U BOY

What are you up to??I thought you were going to leave the 500HP's stock for a whileGive me a call friday if you are still going out Sat.

hahahahhaa. Patrick, we are still getting the paperwork done, but I did finally get insurance (thanks to EP). woohooo. We are definitely "on" for saturday though... hell maybe even sunday too. LOL.

I am gonna leave them alone for now, but I want to start getting parts together for this winters transformation.

BY U BOY

Nice! Don't even have it yet and it's not fast enough(is it ever)

hahahaha. True. But I am a die hard gear head and have to have projects to keep me busy and I love blower motors.... i just dont want to have to put scoops on it and with chillers a scoop would be a neccesity.

Anyone run these big blowers without chillers?

If you run it like this you will have no problems....btw an 8-71 is plenty for a 502, you should be able to drive it at least 5% under for typical set-up. Chillers are run for both power and longevity...BUT, if you are thinking of making ~6# of boost (not a lot of power) and not being wide open for 5 minutes then you will have no issues...
