Roots blower...Magnacharger/weiand???
Any feedback on the new Mangacharger 122cid Hybrid's for the GEN1 SBC's? I see Carcraft did a article on it and so did Superchevy last year around the same time in summer. The 400 sbc made over 600ft/tq and was impressive for a mild cam combo in the Superchevy magazine. It made over 550ft/tq at 2200rpms! Thats what catches my eye. The torque was over 550 from 2200-6000rpms and it was a flat curve.
Im running a weiand 142 and currently want to upgrade since this little blower is seeing 9psi boost and is pretty much maxed out im assuming.....? I like the underhood/single big carb/easy linkage type blowers. Plus its quiet just cruzin' and nobody knows what I have until I mash it.

I think that the CI rating about explains roots type boosters. So going from 142 to a 122 Magnacharger is in the wrong direction. My friend has uses the 142 Weiand like you do driven to near max rpm and it can not create 10 psi in a 355 ci small block. He then considered the 177 ci Weiand when they first came out for small blocks and then decided that it was more cost effective to add a N2O spray plate under the carb.

with a 150 shot he told me that he is really waking up the motor.
The carbed version of the small block WhippleCharger is do out soon. That would be 600 RWHP class in the bigger ci small blocks

If you want to make more power this would be a big improvement over that roots heat pump. http://www.procharger.com/
