B1 with blower is great. 114LSA good lift and good drivability.
Ideally a spilt duration like a 221/224 or a 224/228 on 114LSA would work best with the blower but I made 460RWHP @5000rpm before running lean and 455RWTQ at only 3500rpm with the B1 and unintercooled powerdyne and 5#s boost. Also I passed emissions easily.
Cheers,
Chris

Default How well suited is a B1 for a blower?

I’ve got a B1 that’s going in the car next month, and looking into the future an ATI blower is a possibility. I’m most concerned with NA power right now (and maybe forever), but if I do run the blower, will the B1 be hurting me enough to be worth the cost to swap it out? I know that split patterns are favored for blower setups, but how necessary are they really?
