hmmm

is there something missing in the picture here? Why does it look like if I was to pull the plug and start filling the blower, I would be amazed at how it just doesn't seem to fill

Great pictures but one of them is already on its way to Va Beach! I'm installing my Eaton rotor packs. Also have a freshly burned flipchip coming with it. Will receive Monday, install (along with a Phenolic spacer) and Dyno Tues! Thanks Jim/Julie/Justin and the whole JDM crew, you are great! Fastruk is gonna be a Quiktruk!

Jim, the question was "Did you ever get some dyno's with one on a truck with 14lbs of boost over a stock eaton or ported eaton?"

I do not mean to imply that you dodged the question (you may just not have the requested information), but I think that you would be well-served to produce a direct, same truck, same dyno, before-and-after comparison of the MP versus stock (the comparison would probably be most favorable to the MP with higher-than-stock pulleys).

And as to the RPMs that the blower will handle, that's great, but the real problem with overspinning the Eaton is driving past its efficient range. Does the MP address this issue? Do you have any IAT charts to compare with a stock Eaton? If not, might I be so bold as to suggest that IATs be recorded in a heads-up dyno test?

We are now blessed with many great choices for replacing the out-of-breath Eaton. Perhaps the most important criteria, though, is HP-per-$. Before-and-after dynos talk, all else walks.

Thanks for bringing another choice to market.

He answered it close enugth for me. I have charts of stock and ported eatons on 16psi so i can compare for myself. I guess ill just have to buy one and try it for myself.

Ok I haven't read many posts on this new blower, so I have a question.

How is this any different than the stock Eaton? Someone said the rotor packs are moved...is that all?

I'm also curious to know at what boost levels this mod would be beneficial over the stock Eaton? ...especially since it still uses the same rotors

Good job JDM for bringing us another option! I feel very pleased for choosing a Lightning as my new vehicle for all the different performance options appearing. I think this is a great option for someone wanting to get something a little less than a Kenne Bell with close results. I will be getting this or having the blower ported.

IF my ported eaton doesn't do what I want/expect out of it, I know which direction I'll be headed in

Thank you for yet another option in the blower choice JDM
