Novi or Weiand for a carbureted 306?

MYSTICSVT · Jun 6, 2005

I've decided to go forced induction on my 306 powered 1963 Fairlane. I'm gonna keep the boost minimal for street use. And supplement N2O for strip duty. My current combo is a balanced 306 with 8.5:1 TRW forged pistons, stock rods, crank, ARP hardware, Twisted Wedge heads, and an NOS Double- Cross plate system. Should I go with the Weiand 174 roots supercharger, or go with the Paxton Novi 1500?

I like the centri style blowers and a blow through carb. Procharger and Vortech make kits for a 302 style motor.

Even thought I am not carbed I have a novi and it is awesome. You cant go wrong with a paxton.

personally i would go with the novi, but with the weiand there will be serious torque all the time which would be a blast to drive on te street, but if its seeing alot of track duty the paxton is a better choice. i have a novi 2000 on my car and it put down some sweet numbers but blew a head gasket on the dyno

This car is primarily gonna be street driven(3.55 gears - 2500 stahl). So it's gonna need to have good driveability as well as power.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a blower hat versus a box?

From those 2 choices I'd say get the Novi.

The Weiand blower hasn't seen a signifigant update in 30 years or more. At least the Novi has had some modern R&D and benefited from it.
