Dyers? BDS? Who has experience with a street setup? What have you used and how did it go--who likes what? I have a customer and he is bent on a dual 4 carbed blower setup for the street. I have the 500 inch Mega block almost ready and am about to order the top kit--I have one pal that swears by Dyers--others say BDS--what have ya'll used and who has the best service.?? Thanks Moparts Gang!

I bought my stuff over 10 years ago.I went with BDS because of thier reputation but was disappointed in their after service.My 1st problem was a spun crank hub.Ordered a new one and had it overnighted to make a MOPAR weekend at English town.The hub they sent me was a half inch shorter then I had.When I called them{rather pissed off} they told me they hadn't produced that hub in 8 years.Concidering I got the setup 2 years prior it shows they sold me OLD STOCK to clear thier shelf.I have NEVER heard a bad word about Dyers and The Blower shop looks to have new billit cases that look very nice.I now also use an ATI super dampner rather than just a hub.Just remember to tell them to use a 2 inch register 'cause all the blower stuff like spacers & pullies are 2 inch and the stock mopar stuff is 2.25.I had to customize the pully {open up the id}to fit the dampner properly.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

I think that BDS feels that they are above most of us "hobbiests". They make quality stuff, but don't like answering all the questions. Maybe they think that is what their retailers are for?
I have had the best experience with Good Vibrations in California. Very knowledgeable, will take the time with you, AND they discount most everything.
Master, again and still

If you're looking for big power, the screw is the way to go. For the street, the bottom cut should be in the 5lb range for pumpgas use, then use the pulleys to set the final boost pressure at the desired rpm......mine is cut for 12lbs and is driven to hit 20lbs at 8000rpm which is way overkill for driving around town.

PSI 206B....
So how do you like that set-up? Is it streetable with the carbs?
Some more details about that combo would be great..
It's a 526 4.310 x 4.500 w/KB block and Stage V big valve heads, TD/Barton rockers. The mistake I made was not having PSI cut the bottom of the blower bigger to hold less boost in the case. If I keep the car, I'm going to send the blower back for a bigger cut so I can drive the blower slower and use pumpgas for street driving.
It made 1629hp @8000rpm, just touching 20lbs and even in this configuration, it's pretty easy to putt around. It's just expensive to burn C-16. With the small cut, the discharge temp in the manifold climbs when going slow, or stopped at a light. It drops as you drive and the harder you hit it, the cooler it gets. Just opposite of a roots.
After talking with PSI, we'll probably redo a couple things and knock it down to the 1200hp range for street driving on 93, then swap pulleys, retune the carbs and drive it to 30lbs with C-16 and see how much we can make.
Unless I sell the car and turn my Dart (superstock style chassis) into a grudge deal.

You couldn't be more right. To much steam isn't really fun on the street cuz you can't jack around with it and burning C-16 to get a burger is ridiculous.
If I don't sell the car, I'm going to back the engine down plenty by opening up the blower cut and a pulley change. The chassis is killer so it can take good power, but the most fun I ever had in a street car was in the mid 90s with a 69' Barracuda w/SS springs.....it had a 499ci 440-1 that ran in the 9.20-9.40 range. About 800hp and was a blast on an empty Rt. 25 connector and ATCO rent days.
