Reply With Quoteyou would be suprised at what 4 lbs of boost will do for torque and hp.a friend of mine runs a 671 on his 22 ft eliminator daycruiser and it will run 85 mph,very heavy boat,he is running about 4 pounds of boost.
Before I buy this blower from this guy for 2000.00.Is it a good deal?Suppose to have telfon striped lobes, it is a littlefield 6-71, no pits in rotors,come off a drag boat.I am going to be putting it on a mild 454 in a 2200 LB model a .The pulley combo with it is at 12lbs of boost.Way to much for my project.Gonna change the pulleys out.My questions are how much boost do I need to run for a 454 street engine.I have not bought the pistons yet.Also what do I look for(problems) on this blower before I purchase.Is 2000.00 a good deal?Is this intake a boat intake or a street intake.A whole new game for me.First blower motor.Here are some picks.

marty, its a ugly blower but the clearences are still tight and rotors are perfect.he tried to make it polished(its was cast), looks good from a distance.i think a good alum polishing will make it look alot more presentable.but for the price, i'd could give a shiat what it looks like, just how it works.he sent it off to bds for a overhaul in march 06, ran it last season, hit it big at casino and bought hisself a brand new bds 8-71 kit.he's an azzhole, but he needs my help alot on his tx-20, and he gives me stuff all the time, so i put up with him
call littlefeild there anaheim ca,ask for lee and ask him whats it worth he is very helpful and can tell you exactly what you need.they are not cheap that is for sure.i had the same mainfold for my boat with a superchiller.
I am pretty sure that the carb manifold shown is for Dominators only... Do not know if you planned to run dominators
Keep in mind too, teflon will wear and after a bit the clearances will be about same as a street blower.
save up 700 more and buy a new 8-71 kit, i've seen some weaind kits for 2600 with free delivery on ebay. lots of guys around me run weaind blowers without any trouble, look nice, and i've got buddies runnin 13-14lbs for the last decade without havin a double key'd crank, or shearing bolts.they just run a good hardened key and check their pulley bolt torque regularly.reliable blower motors live long with regular maintence and proper clearences!
