Whether it'a a blower or a turbo, any internal weaknesses (weak valve spring, loose guide, etc) will be magnified by the increased pressure in the engine. One weak plug wire, or a couple plugs gapped wrong that is an annoyance in a normally aspirated car can end up causing a major KAPOW in a blower or turbo application. Make sure you run a boost gauge, the correct timing, correct valve adjustment, valve spring pressures and everything else. The increase in power also increases the build cost and the upkeep cost and time!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
