    Default Positive Displacement Blowers

    My fathers truck is burning coolant, Haven't looked into it yet but thought this might be good time to do his build. He absolutely loves old school blowers. the plan is to bolt one on top of a modman intake, with an A/W intercooler. Who makes the best positive displacement blower right now? Kennebell, Whipple, or Magnuson?

    Rev limiter? that's what valve springs are for!

    Where do you plan on mounting said A/W intercooler? space is real tight inside that intake, and if its a dakota, the kenne bell barely clears the hood when set in that intake.

    I'm not one to let body panels stand in the way of horsepower Either get a cowl, cut a hole, or run no hood. I'd like a pretty thick core A/W in between the intake/blower.

    get a decently efficient blower (not the ones that come in the kenne belle kit for these trucks) forget the a/w intercooler.... spray methanol! Those types of blowers respond very well to methanol injection. cheap, easy, fast!

    Kenny bell makes some really nice blowers that are liquid cooled. Lightning guys are making big power with them
