Gotcha but I will always do it cos they look racy anyhow..........

I'm thinking 15-20...

Question would be: what would it do with the same 6-7 pounds of boost while being 400 Lbs or more lighter?

He might need Sissy Sticks.

So much easier to change a pulley

I just push some buttons and prestO-changO I'm at 20 psi.

Sound even better!

Yeah, but I beg to ask: "how long will 10-20 Lbs of boost leave life to a motor? Isn't more boost more asking of the head gaskets, head chambers, oil rings, rod bearings, and caps?

Tuned correctly it'll be fine. Hold it! Isn't this thread about weight reduction and the costs involved with that? Put a composite pulley on it!

I'm actually serious when I ask this but does anyone know if a Procharger would be lighter than a Roots blower? I would think it would be but from what I have seen, the Procharger brackets are pretty big and bulky.

At least it wouldn't sit up so high.

Oh yeah right, Good try Itis on deflecting the subject here. Leave deflection to the politicians. LOL.

Besides, we should be talking about how we can bring a lighter blower set up to the top of that pup not to mention that the aftermarket block it sits on is also heavy on your bow.
I think that blower set up must weigh as much as two iron Hemi heads and 2X4 manifold together. Basically by going aluminum heads, your Hemi is probably at the same weight of a regular all iron street Hemi. Still a weight loss by any stretch.

Perhaps Itis would rather go twin turbo on that thing and install a closed hood once again. Full twin hairdryer setup with exhaust and all would probably be lighter than that blower.

Yep, plus you can ramp in power easier than a blower and make it less violent till needed.......

There you go Man. I rest my case with the guy that started this whole crazy thread.

He could start with a titanium header system and all.

LOL. I love how I am spending Hemitis's money for him with my crazed ideas.
This thread has effectively pulled out all of the nut jobs that were hiding under the weight of their own inventions. LOL.

Not a power adder guy at all but a blower is probably the HARDEST power adder to manage so if you really want to impress, build a BIG N/A Hemi and let it eat..........

I’m a big fan of turbos. BUT there is NOTHING cooler that a big ol’ whining blower sticking out from the hood.

In all kiddin' aside, that 63' is quite an impressive car for a real street driven HEAVY weight.
If I were him and the blower was the only choice, I'd semi alter the rear wheels forward and lay a straight axle on the front to look the part of yesteryear. It would still be streetable as it is now, bite a lot more at the line while looking like it came out of a 1966 Super/Stock magazine.

Alot of great ideas for making power.My quest shall continue down this oldscool path past with a pair of one barrell carbs.They are going home to Prosystems for the 3rd circuit addition to improve tunability.So I'm thinking 10 t0 12 lbs should put me in the 8's.

Here's an old flick of when the aluminum gas tank was being constructed. It followed the lines of the original steel unit so that it could be nestled into the same cavity. Out of sight, but still in mind.
Baffles along with a Aeromotive A1000 pump were later introduced before it was plugged up and sealed.

What's behind door #1??????? after sanding that is?
Virgin aluminum after The Palm Reader gets done with it.

Paint now locked and loaded in the spray gun.
