[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16337253, member: 9628"] ^^^^Those were my thoughts..........Other than the fact that "these were the two blowers that were already available to be tested", it seemed a bit unrealistic. I know the 3.6 can not be spun like the smaller blower and it would not have to be, but I would assume it could be spun harder than what that installed large pulley would allow for. And on the flip side the Gen3R has an ultra small pulley, the next step for it would be to remove the pulley and machine the shaft with ribs. I am not saying the Gen3R is not a Great set-up, especially if you are looking for the "bang for the buck", but I too would like to see some heat specs between the two. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the faster you spin these blowers, the more heat they put off, some may be more efficient, but the heat still climbs with the "spun rpms". Would a better comparison have been a "newer" 3.2LC with a small "snout diameter pulley" which is a similar size compared to the 3.6LC but is based on the smaller/lighter 2.8 case? Of course that would require forking over some cash to do that test.........if that blower is not "already owned" for test purposes as was the case with the 3.6. ..........and I also agree, realistically, the smaller blowers when set up correctly? they will do anything a street guy wants..........and has been mentioned, the bigger blowers, they can work on the street also..........and bragging rights.....<<<But in todays world that is a big part of this game....."The bigger stick".
