I think they are great blowers. If your looking for over 600hp you may want larger.
I plan on intercooling mine this winter and running a bit more boost.
Going to put on dyno and see what we get!

They are 174's.

How much boost are you running????? You may be able to try a smaller top pulley or innercool them.

I am running 5lbs of boost around 4800RPM. Running just shy of 600HP each. I was thinking of the options to cool the intake charge and would rather slow down the blower before I intercool. I would love to do both but budget just wont allow that yet.
