    If I was building a blower motor, the compression would be in the low 8's. With 10:1, detonation is a big probelm. Why bother with a blower if you can't put some pullys on it that will build some boost ???

    IF YOU BUY THE KIT FORM THE ONLY THING LEFT WOULD BE THE CARB. LINKAGE.ALSO CHECK OUT BDS BLOWERS THEY HAVE A 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON THEM AND SELL FOR $2,400.

    I agree with Eric, given the choice I would go with the BDS unit. Had one on a BB Ford and loved it!!!
