I agree, '67, technology has come so far over the past decade, and most of the old "norms", or make that, limitations, just don't apply anymore, though most of it still works. I'm building a couple turbo motors now, and, given the excellent materials; advances in cam profiles; outstanding...

I agree with other posters here. Given the efficiency of today's blowers, and the ability to 'slow down' the blower to reduce heat while making good boost is the way to go. A 4-71 would be a good fit for a V-6; 6-71's for most small blocks; 8-10-71's for big inch race small block and big...

604, the answer is: It depends. If the blower was originally set up for alcohol, then it was set up with tighter clearances than a gas blower would normally use. However, if it's a used unit with much time on it at all, then the blower is probably loose enough to use with gas. Just as a...

Yes. .010 is not enough material to even sweat over. To help ease your mind; take a quick glance at a .005 feeler gauge. That's the equivalent of material that's removed from the 'perrimeter' of your crank shaft... Don't give it a second thought. Some guys posting on this forum may be old...

That is one sweet Dak ! I like the throttle response and how quiet that thing is - to be a 10 sec street cruiser. Southernman

OK guys, don't beat me up as I know it's a Mopar forum - and I would never sell out to the 'off brands'. However, I wish we there were more Turbo charged Mopars to post video clips of, but I'm remiss at finding anything like the following youtube clip. Here's another example of the kind of...

Thanks for the kind words guys and, as noted, I'm just an old fashioned rodder who prefers the big inch, roots-type blowers that blow fire and shake the ground. I personally think they will continue to dominate the track and street scene for years to come. But, times are changin'. I'm also...

Guys, I have seem many examples of 'over thinking' over the course of my career, but some of the things being posted here really have raised the bar. I like how many on these forms like to say "prove it (to me?)", versus doing a little research on your own. Come on guys ! For one, there...

Mad Dart and Turbo Dart, I'm glad to see gusy like you out there playing in turbo territory, and I'd definitely be interested in seeing some of your project work. To both your points, and based on my years playing around with roots style blowers, I'd have to agree that it takes an above...

Guys, this is a great discussion and I think it's great that we can all come together to discuss 'preferences' with pros and cons of each configuration. As a guy whose ran roots superchargers over the years, I can tell you the neck snapping throttle response is something you'll always...

When you purchase new rings, there should be a cut sheet included that will give you the minimum gap settings. Different ring materials can carry different specs, which are also based on application (i.e. blown, nitrous, etc). Read the sheet and check the fit. Standard(ized) ring sets usually...

I've ran several blower cars over the years and 4-8 MPG is about average with a 6-71 on a big block, but curb appeal and throttle response made it worth it. IMHO, if you were looking for an MPG upgrade, then a turbo, or centrifugal/screw type compressor would be more advantageous, but I do...

Any boosted application will require wider lobe centers. Forget everything you know about naturally aspirated engines, as boosted applications require a different throught process. The reason for wider LC's is to prevent your engine from dumping the fresh [pressurized] air-fuel charge down...
