Might try taking spacer out after I run new blower, since its always been in there and im curious

8.3L?? Whoa. That's quite the jump!
Just a heads up if u aren't familiar w the spacers. Since the spacer kit replaces the stock studs and coupler, You'll need to get a set of std length studs and std length coupler if u want to remove it.

John Teague talked me into it, said I might see 50-100 hp gain , better idle cause it has a bypass and they don't build much heat at all compared to roots.I know now after a good run you cant lay your hand on blower. It is direct replacement, for bds 10-71, I use my snout and drive pulleys. Found several guys back to back dynos that gained 120+. they were on bigger inch motors but We will see !

might want to add an IMCO SCX drive to ur teague shopping cart too... anything over 800 is asking a lot from an XR based drive.

It will be interesting to see what kind of difference the Whipple will make. My 98 Heat none step bottom with 865 hp (dynoed at sea level) would run 83-84 at 3600 feet and 86-88 at Havasu which is 450 feet so the 72-75 seems a little slow. Have you checked the compression and done a leak down test on the engine?

No I haven't, compression, leakdown is on list to do soon
