What's painful for me to read is someone deciding to use a GMC blower (in preference to a twin screw, turbo, centrifugal) "because of the wow factor".
In MOST but not ALL cases the GMC blower cars tend to run about what a solid NA street motor can run. They usually figure that out, then stay in the show car field.
They do look pretty awesome though lol.
I do agree with this. That being said, Im building a roots blown early hemi that will most likely exceed expectations.
The word “most” is key here. Most gmc blower cars are geared towards the look of performance. No real attention to the entire package.
I know it would be cheaper, easier, and make more power with turbos. I know how to do it, have the ability to do it, but the blower should do exactly what I need it to do. Turbos will have me chasing rainbows. The blower will stop me from power chasing.
