Default anyone have any info on Opcon/Imco whipplechargers?

Hey all, I have a set of whipples I plan on putting on my 31' Scarab after this season is over, and I'm looking for any input I can get from you guys... it has twin 365 mag motors that run perfectly. Stock except for roller rockers and MSD ignition. I know I'll need blower scoops, bigger carbs and fuel pumps, ect, but my question is about the blowers. I can't find any info on them anywhere! They are made by Interco, and are also stamped as Opcon/Imco. They have a plate that bolts to the factory intake, then the whipple goes on then the carb. I have all the brackets/pullys and stuff, but how can I find out how much psi they are gonna put out with the pullys they came with? Anyone ever heard of these blowers? I have pics but can't get them to post right now, gotta renew my gold membership. Thanks for anything you guys have on them!

Yeah that's probably the pair I bought. They say "whipple industries" on them, and look pretty much identical to your average kenny bell/IMCO whipplecharger inside and out. I'm sure they aren't the best out there with there not being much info on them, but they are in pretty good shape and I'm sure would at least bump it up 100+/- hp which I would be happy with. Isn't a Merc 525 basically just a Mag motor with whipples more or less?
