math.....lower pulley diameter:upper diameter. we can watch slip in the ECU with a PD blower. A lot harder to do with a centri. You could use a dual channel optical sensor but I havent had time to build one yet.
Yeah it is. We have talked about an optical sensor or something similar but that's as far as it's gone.
Bobfig, the machine time is like 27 minutes on the big machine, problem is that it's been down for a month, and I'm running on my backup machine, which is a precision one, aka slow as crap. Once the big machine is up again I will have shelved stock, but right now they are made to order as I need them.
As far as an ls3 intake on ls1 heads, it won't work. The flow direction will abruptly change TWICE before it goes into the heads. The blower works because the air enters the head vertically, instead of perpendicular to the intake port surface as with a standard manifold. The air would make a Z path, not a straight one. Get an LS2 manifold and be a lot happier.
The air flow path making a Z , is it the floor impractical that you are referring to ? I could see once it drops off the LS3 flange , it would have to climb back up the ramp of the floor.
I've actually gone over this before. There was another thread on here that had a drawing that the admins deleted. The entry angle of the lsa blower is vertical, so if you used an ls3 manifold, it would essentially hit the wall of the adapter, be directed downward, then hit the floor of the port in the head, and have to change directions again to flow towards the valve.

Thank you for the reply back, sorry to make you cover the same ground twice. I would like to have seen that drawing , don't understand why it would have been deleted even if there was a another sponsor on here selling this adaptor plate .I still don't know what wall your refering to by hit the wall.. I would describe it like a waterfall , then climbing up a hill to to the bowl.
This is an insanely innacurate. picture, I can't find the other one. The angles in real life are a lot more drastic.

the blower with lid is about the same height as a truck intake. so i doubt itll fit under a stock 3rd gen hood even with ls3 heads, but the spacers add 1/2" overall if you have to use them
