Race or street... yes the crank can be cut for another
key... tell you what else you need to know.... well
it would be the big shiny thing on the top of the engine

---

street cruiser. i have heard or read that there would be less heat useing the bigger 8-71.

also, this wont be right away. i'm thinking i need to get the crank takin care of. probably put a mod man intake on it with 2 carbs for now. later when i have the cash i could just slap the blower right on the mod man

does this remotely sound like a plan of attack? i have to spend my money wisely

Stay as far away as you can from BDS, Hampton, Weiand, Littlefield and a bunch of others are a lot better From personel expereinces on three BDS street and strip blowers As far as the size I wouuld look at a 8:71 or even a 10:71, if it will fit, the bigger blower will make more pressure at a lower RPM, you won't have to spin the blower real fast to make boost in other words 7 lbs at 150 F at 3000 RPM is way better than 10 lbs at 190 F at 3000 RPM The faster you spin a roots type blower the more heat it will make, added heat makes detonatioon under boost There are coolers tp place between the blower and the intake but most of them restrict the air flow and end up making less power at the same boost, a big interference in the middle IHTHs

Save up and call Roger at PSI. They have gas style screws that adapt nicely to carbs. Cooler charge and more power everywhere.

Miles ahead of a roots.

that sounds interesting

i would love a wipple but i dont want to mess with fuel injection

Happy Belated Birthday Ray...

I saw those prices too!!..

I have a small roots type blower, Weiand, on my SB chevy...its a good street blower but makes a lot of heat...if its a wow factor that you are looking for, then all means go for that chunk sticking out of the hood...if not then a centrifugal type like a pro-charger with an inter cooler would be a great way to go...also have you thought about Turbos?

your 1st sentence is confusing. do just the BDS blower suck or what?

---

I edited my first post, I was not clear The first BDS blower leaked grease from the front seals, twice the second one siezed up on the dyno and he redid it saying it was a brand new blower when he brought it back I could see damage to the case and rotors when mounting the injector hat, it lost 5 lbs of boost in 15 minutes of operating it on the dyno while he was trying to dial in the EFI mapping I was pulled off of the project after that and the motor ended up with a Littlefiled 10:71 and ]Motech EFI No problems with Littlefields blowers I put another Littlefield 10:71 on a street and strip 426 hemi two years later and had absolutely zero issues That motor made 925 HP at 7300 RPM with 7 lbs. boost on CA pump gas

No injection needed for a PSI unless you want it. I have a couple doms on mine. "B" rotor for gas is about 7K, but ya only live once.

Those Whipples are nice too.

i guess i'm really going to need to research all these different blowers.

here is a pic of the cuda. hasnt made it out of the garage yet though. its just a bunch of free or cheap junk thrown together. when i scaled my challenger, i weighed the cuda and it was 900 lb lighter but was missing a bunch of stuff like windows, seats, driveshaft and exhaust

Honestly, best bang for the buck is "www.thesuperchargerstore.com" and one of their Procharger kits. They make more hp than a 6-71 even on a mild tune, and they are easier to fit in the engine bay and under a hood. I love the SMRE reverse mount system they make for them on the big blocks...

Just picked my motor up yesterday from Bartons.
Has an 8-71 stepped up from a 6-71 a few years ago; did spin slower and made less heat.
Also when I spoke to Indy about their Modman intake they told me that it would be the limiting factor in my motor; and that I was better off using their dedicated blower manifold and porting my Indy SR heads to match. Needed an intake that could accept injectors for my Fast XFI system on this motor.

---

What kind of power is this motor making? looks good!

that motor looks nasty.

Just to add some balance to the conversation, I never had any problems with my BDS 8-71. It was just an unstripped stage 2 blower. Trust me, it will make way more power than you can handle on the street.
