Blows into the turbo...

Hope so...most VE's, even compound ones, make maybe 60-70psi. I'm hoping I can FORCE it to make more boost with the blower, which will be good, since it takes some power to drive. How it will all balance out, who knows!

....yet

The nice thing will be the total lack of turbo lag.

I hope you are planning heavy water/meth with that much cylinder pressure.

only issue I see with a centrifugal blower is the lack of rpm. its not an instant boost blower like a roots. It has a boost map of its own based on rpm. I grew up messing with cent blowers on fox body 5.0s and my vortech wouldn't be at full boost till around 4000 rpm.

I wish ya luck man, I have had a love/hate relationship with Procharger since 1997.

I bought the biggest they had at the time, the studly D1, blower is still fine, but neither of us has been able to keep a blower belt alive for more than a couple of passes.

I have about 4 more years before I can go back to spending money on the Nova, then it will either be a F2 or a pair of T76 hairdryers............

Tell you what, if you have the gearing right, there isn't anything like that sequence of slapping the throttle, converter flashing to 4500, instant 20 lbs. boost ( on a built 489 BBC ) and then your spine trying to have sex with the racing bucket...............
