I'v spent the past two years building my street rod from the ground up & now that I'v been driving it for a couple months, I'v been thinking about trying to boost the power a little. I think it would look really cool w/ a blower, but not really sure of the cost, or if the stock bottom end will handle it? Has anyone on here done it?

You could be a trail blazer in the field of old school roots superchargers on the LS motors. I can't even imagine driving the finished product. I bet that thing is scary just the way it is!

September Hot Rod magazine had an article they took a 4.8 added twin turbos and made 1200 hp with stock bottom end and 118 octane fuel. REALLY check it out.

Hey Tigger, I have the same problem as you, been drivin it for a couple mos, now it feels slow.....lol I saw one with a supercharged small block on it @ a show & it really looked cool. Not sure I'v gotten all I can get outta this thing yet though, it runs good, but not sureI can't squeeze more out of it. My buddy rode in it & says it feels like a mid 11 sec car. I'v never raced, so I'm not sure myself. I had it on the scale the other day & it was 2340lbs with my 250 lb *** in the seat. I thought it would be faster than that. He says I need alot more stall in it, its got 3000 in it now, and it doesn't even feel like there is a converter in it. I'm gonna look into the roots style blower, they look bad ***....lol

I run a centrifugal on my at 9 lbs. Stock bottom end. They do make a roots style but only fuel injected as far as I know

Been extremely happy with my BDS, E.F.I., roots setup. Setup to run on pump gas, 110 race gas or E-85. There is nothing like the throttle response provided by boost.

What ls engine is that? And what base did you do use for the supercharger?

Chris05

BDS sells the base for carb or fuel injection. http://theblowershop.com/product/chevy-ls-manifold-kit/

Did a 5.7L that made an effortless 610HP on pump gas and 7-8lbs of boost.

Damn, helicoil, if I had that motor it would never make it out of my living room.

I ran a Procharger on my 69 chevelle, with a blow thru carb-it was pretty bullet proof, only thing that worried me was how little of the crank snout actually was in the balancer-I ran an ATI balancer, so I wasn't worried about the balancer-I did like the Procharger on the street better than a turbo I am running now with FI, just something diff, lol

What base did you use to convert the cathedral port to the 671?

I remember when you shared that. What did the torque numbers look like on that monster?

Table top flat from the minute the hammer dropped!

?, don't understand the ?. The intake was made for this cathedral head. The one I used was custom made from MachineTech in CA, the blower shop now makes something similar in billet. Nice piece!

This set up is for a F-Body accessory belt line.

Hi Tommy, I believe the "look" of a 671 is what you ask, thus BDS.

I have made S-97 TBI's for Craig.
These have TWO fuel injectors in each with a flow of 350 cfm.
I would "fit" three inline.

This "inline" fitment will balance the fuel delivery into the Blower with a good plug read and good temperature balance.
These are machined "billet" by John at AccuFab.
