Thread: Losing the blower - intake advice??

Tweet

I don't see how dumping the blower is going to make your ride more "drive-in friendly".
It's been my experience that you can make a bunch more horsepower/torque with a blower by using a shorter duration cam, less compression etc. Those factors in themselves equate to a more streetable combo.
I merely screwed on a 6-71 to my well built NA 8.5-1 355 and added more power than I can use on the street.
I spin the blower relatively fast but keep rpms down for a great reliable street combo. This thing idles better than it did with a dual plane single carb, doesn't overheat in traffic and is a blast to drive.
They can have my blower when they pry it from my cold dead hands....
