Well , I ran the car last week. It turns out a detuned the car so much (worried to death about all the talk about the 24lb injectors fuel pump this that.) it ran the same with the blower as with out. 12.689 @110. the blower warm made 4 psi. cold it make 7. So I decided to put the normal tune on the car timing, fuel pressure, plugs,etc... and let it rip...

Refresh my memory....what are we talking about again? Are you the guy who like the "old school" (your words) look of the older Paxton Ball Screw type supercharger?

That sounds about right for performance. They never really did move that much air. Seeing 5-7psi is about as good as I've seen them get on a stock car. They'll show boost numbers on the low end with a few exhaust mods .

Better flowing parts means less boost pressure.

That blower is only good for about 700 to 750 cfm so its almost just there for the ride....it would work better on a stock motor then on one that has mods....

You're either going to have to pulley that blower up the ass to get some boost or swap out head units. They were not monster boost makers when they came out 25 years ago. Also, I'd be careful with those 24#'ers and boost..
