To Turbo or Not To Turbo?

turbos are traditional!!!!!!!!!!!

 

those arent turbos

 

looks like centrifical superchargers to me.

 

vintage supercharger.....

 

That car in that image isn't running a turbo. It's running a belt-driven centrifugal blower. Looks like maybe a McCollough (???).

 

yeah I know but has the same overall look................

 

I wouldn't run an intercooler - fab gets complicated in a hurry with a roots. I would run a water/meth injection though. My brother's car was 8# and you could see it in his coolant temps it was that dramatic.

As far as turbos and traditional - Ak Miller.

 

I combined Hank's info with a blower cam Engle had for their small blocks and came out with this:

lift@1.7:i).500"E).510"
Adv.duration:i)272*E)280*
Cam Lift:i)294"E)300"
lobe center:115*
Duration@.050:i)224"E)230"

What do you think? any adjustments?

 

I've started a new thread/poll, people started to get confused...

 

Turbo it. You never hear of a hot rodder complaining that his car has too much power, but I have heard a few bleat that they havent got enough
