turbo: blow thru vs. draw thru

Gale Banks did it for years. My buddy has a 440 out of an old motorhome with his setup on it. Due to the size of the turbo it is very limited on power. You would have to cut a hole in your hood too.

That was done for a reason. We did 440 motorhome systems as well. The single turbo setup was sized for about 7psi, which kept the 440 alive. We could have made more power, but in a vehicle like that you can hold the pedal on the floor for long periods of time. Even a 440 has it's limits.

That 440 with no intercooler & stock pistons / smog cam from 1978 would make 500 horsepower @ 7psi. Push a stock 440 to 500 hp on the road for half an hour and it sort of heats the oil up. The 727 is not real happy about it either. We would beat on them that hard on the Baker grade - 32 foot coach with 24 feet of trailer behind it.
