[QUOTE="HiTechRedneck, post: 16451378, member: 129831"] I have to agree that this is really not a straight line vehicle! I really can't imagine adding a blower on a motor with this high compression! It will have to severely limit the amount of boost that you could run safely. Having built fuel funny car motors in the 60's (YES I AM OLD!) we would only run about 8 to 1 compression. When I built my F150 Harley truck I knew a lot of guys with HD's and Lightnings that grenaded motors because they went overboard on boost. You really have to consider a multitude of things on a blower motor! Compression, pistons and rings, valve springs, crankshaft, mains etc. to do it right. In other words, pull the motor and prepare to drop some serious cash if you want it to live! Oh, and then there is the drive train!!! [/QUOTE]
