Bob ran some numbers for me, he had some dyno sheets on a Teague 800, at 3000 ft alt I am losing 17%+ horsepower due to elev and heat. Down to 600-650hp at prop .That's quite a bit, so I am not that far off speed wise, should be 76 mph. Switching to a 8.3 L Whipple and Nickerson just did my carbs so will see what happens. Might try taking spacer out after I run new blower, since its always been in there and im curious
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 !
