I'm also curious as to why you're removing the blower to go nitrous though

Blower very annoying, had a few belt issues just got frusturated with it, supercharger makes car harder to start too for some reason or its my setup little things like that it was just annoying

now i can play in the 550whrp range and hit a 700whrp mark whenever i want.

plus i got the blower for 2500$ whole setup, sold it for 4k, ill get a badass new nitrous kit for a little under 2k.

still debating whenever wet or dry only problem is sleeves in my block they are stock and it is a 440ci

Hmm, interesting. I can see how that'd be annoying.

My sleeves are stock also, only bored .005 for a 4.130 bore. 4.125 dragonslayer crank.

very annoying to start when car is really hot etc and these cars are known too much heat causes starter to heat soak

A little SI blower isn't your issue IMO.

A poor install and tune is the issue. Would have been cheaper/easier to fix the problem than blame the blower.

Yeah, you're definitely getting wrong information from somebody and somebody is making money off you. Very obvious. You seem hard headed, shops love customers like you that take only their advice.

Fix the issues with the blower and tune and it won't change a single thing on the car as far as drivability issues vs NA. An SI basically free wheels off boost and takes very little power to turn. Your cranking issues is tune related. If two pulleys were in bad shape, fix them.
