So I am guessing whoever had the boot before me was a complete idiot or what? Why would somebody put a small block blower on a big block motor? So this blower isn't giving me any gains at all?

That's the cutest li'l blower I've ever seen!

I just want to give it a hug and tussle the top of the air cleaner.

It's gotta be doing something? Most 29 fountains I've seen can't get on plane with a 28p and most don't run 80mph. Well looks like it will be coming off this winter lol. Advice on what blower to put back on there?

Maybe next year, this year it's getting wrapped and some new Upholestry done. I'm happy running mid 70's loaded down. Just curious what this supercharger would be worth?

Skip the wrap, swap the blower. See if you can sell your blower to a guy with a 1990 suburban with a 305
