Looking to cruise around 50-55 and before laying into the boost,. So do I really need a bigger blower? I will have higher static compression than a 525 sc and better cam so the actual boost shouldnt be that much except when I want to turn it up to 11... You could make that power N/A if you really wanted to I bet. |
Damn, I kind of hope Full Force doesn't see this thread - it will make him feel even worse!

He doesn't want to / or can't raise his hatch. And yeh, he knows I'm sure.

Boost is boost, but does a larger blower produce X amount of boost sooner? A 420, for example, produce 5lbs at a lower RPM than a 177?

Roots SC's have a fixed displacement per rotation. Centrifugals have stepup ratios's therefore, they will inncrease more boost as engine rpm's go up, |
lol boost is whole different world... wish I procharged my 420's... long ago.... live and learn!!

hence poking at guns lately... if the right deal surfaces I may make a move... then I can have blowers without scoops... to a point anyway...
