hylomar is very thick you do not want to use silcone.with the string you are making a printed seal gaskets.1000hp ?? the more boost the more power but more boost the more heat that why i have more comp than some guys run not running blower as hard not so much heat i do not know how much hp my engine is but the torque is really something i have HAD 700+ BIG BLOCK WITH OUT A BLOWER .BUT IF THE BELT IS ON THE BLOWER HANG ON FRYING THE DRAG RADIALS OFF AT 120 MPH IS NOT A BIG DEAL
