I'm all about being BLOWN!!!!!! Got my first blower 10 years ago, and now can't live without one. Instant overwhelming torque is a blast on the street.

Nice Chef, you want that feel like in Crank. You hit the gas and the heart starts pumping. I got my 1st Nitrous hit/ride and I was impressed, it was on a 410 cam only m6 car with a 100 shot @ 980 psi. It was cool ****, but after this car I would like to do something FI.

A Blower will blow the 88k mile stock rotating assy right out your tailpipe over 6-8lbs.

Gotta redo the motor with blower pistons, rods, etc.

They make these cars without blowers?About 90% of the cars we are working on have blowers.Now they get bored and we add stroker motor's.

Mr B- you have no idea,LOL. 88k is absolutely nothing. I'd run 12-14lb on a 88k mile motor without worries.10lbs on a H/C car.

Agreed. For a street car it's a lot of fun. Turbo is the only way to go IMO for a dedicated track car though. Definitely a lot of fun on the street too, but a different kind.

And you haven't felt instant boost until you've been in a Twin Screw car. I sneeze on the pedal and build 10 psi. As soon as the throttle blade opens half way I'm over 20.

Not sure if you have been in a properly setup turbo car, but a turbo vehicle will make full boost way before a centrifugally charged car... that is physics and is not debateable.

If you want a S/C car though, you will be happy.
