Weld crane has whipples, he's talking big old school blowers 8 and 10-71s, the blower shop, blower drive service and psi seem to be the big names bill

For all out power, I'm kind of partial to the PSI's :drink: Vor-Tech makes some nice stuff to.

If you like roots blowers, the blowershop stuff will run forever.

Whipple side mounts mounted on 500 efi

That question is completely dependent upon your primary platform. If you are running a fuel injected setup (MPI variation) and have deep pockets, I would recommend whipple chargers, followed closely by Vortech. If you are running carberated motors, I recommend an 871 blower with a superchiller at minimum, prefereably though a 1071. The larger the blower, the cooler the intake air is, thus decreasing chances of detonation. I personally prefer old school roots style blowers with carberators because I can actually work on them and self diagnose. However, if you have the correct MPI setup with Whipples or Vortechs, this is a very nice setup as the computer controls fuel flow, air/lean mixture, timing, etc. Hope this helps!

10/71 with throttle body EFI is a nice combo too. You get the benefit of precise fuel metering at every rpm and load point, knock protection, timing control, rev limiter's, etc. for no more $ then a good set of blower carbs..
