Thumbs down Why is every one getting bigger blower's...?

The Eaton can land us in the 11's with ease......... You can do major motor work by your self porting..... their is crazy amounts of power to be found !!!! Just cant see spending thousands of dollars on just a better blower............. No what im saying...

okay 3k for a 2hour install no headache blower that will get you into the 11's or a 6k superheadache that idles rough that will also get you into the 11's. not to mention some of us still have a chance at a warranty.

Hey Dave

Buy my Lightning and stop the B/S
Only then can you ask these questions

I agree there's plenty of power there to be had,
but I bet a KB and Predator can get you in the 11's
without touching the computer or lower pulley,
hence voiding your wrrnty.

I bet new Gaskets and Bolts will return your L to stock
"without them ever knowing"

how much boost do you need out of the KB to go 11's with just a chip and filter? Thanks, Shane

Hell, 16 PSI can do that with ease.

What pulley combination are you using to get easily in the 11's with the Eaton?

My goal is to get into the 11's in South Florida at Moroso on the stock eaton. Ive seen Vinnie go 11's with an JDM 8lb lower, and also Fast Gator, which I believe has a 6lb lower and 2lb upper. With the high boost your going to also need parts to cool down the blower.... hence a heat exchanger with fans, phenolic spacer, and supercooler.

Yeah Dave,

I plan to run an 8# or 10# pulley (actually trying to find all the different measurements of everyones pulley so I can find the best combo I want... some 8# pulleys are 10", some are 9.5", so im just trying to get the best pulley for my setup) on my new built shortblock, but I plan to add all those cooling items first to make sure im not getting the stock blower way too hot, and get the true power out of the added boost.
