Thinking of adding a blower....
Not a big fi fan, but I'd like to add some power without changing heads and everything else for A 50rwhp gain. The car has a built forged 416 now and I road race, so....I'd like to add a blower, then remove it when I road race and switch the tune...sounds easy right?
Anyway...I'd like a pro charger and not a roots type. Looking for maybe 800rwhp which isn't to much for this motor. Putting the kit on seems to be pretty easy, what I don't know about is the fuel system. Still on all stock now.
Any advice, suggestions, or comments appreciated.

Removing the blower, changing belts, putting on the tensioner for the n/a setup etc would get old.
Just do a nitrous setup for drag racing and pull the bottle when you road race.

If it's a road race motor, I'm guessing near 12:1 Static compression ratio? If so that would be too high for boost on pump gas.

I only get the chance to road race once a year, if that. Car sees maybe 2000 miles a year so I wouldn't be switching often.
I don't drag race, or care for playing with bottles.

I can set you up with a good deal on an ECS kit since i am having sale on them right now. As for fuel system. I would do 80lb injectors and the ECS stage 1 fuel system and it will support your power goals no problem.
Shoot me a PM if you are interested

After boosting your going to never want to take it off lol
