A good way to boost power without having to reinvent the drive system too.

Had stock 454s leakdown and compression tested and they are solid. Now thinking a little boost may be what the beast needs. Low boost should give me more low end grunt which is the goal. Found pair of new huge oil coolers, can use higher octane fuel and bring octane boosters when off to the islands where fuel quality sucks, hardest part should be reversing one blower as one engine is reversed. Drives can handle the additional power no problem.

Keep your eyes open for a pair a small blowers w carbs for me.

I think you would need a gear drive for the opp rot engine. Otherwise the blower will suck, literally. Those rotors will push air up instead of down. Would be nice if you could turn the front plate over and switch rotors so driven pulley is on other side.

according to blower sites they are reversible. Would I need CAM change or would it be a bolt on? Upgrade fuel pump and fuel lines .... bolt and go?
