This motor was built more for street and it's using a DYERS adapter plate sitting on top of an Eldebrock Strip Dominator intake. A older fella visiting me took one look at the setup and said I haven't seen one of those in a long time but he said he used one long ago on a car he built. It really works very good for street use and all cylinders get even fuel even while cruising around on just the front 4 barrel. Runs very smooth and very streetable.
@Topstrap The boost gauge is plumbed directly into the small riser on top of the Dominator intake and under the flat plate the supercharger is bolted to. The pop offs are also threaded into the bottom of the flat plate. I had never seen a setup like this before and questioned the builder about it and he said don't worry that it'll surprise me and for the street I'll never notice it's not on a regular blower intake. So far I'm more than happy with the way it runs.
Not really sure, I've never had it on a dyno and don't race it. From looking at others on the net and what the motor has done to it most everyone kinda agrees on between 600 and a bit over 700HP. I just know it's way more than enough to make ya lightheaded when you open it up. Long ago I used to have a 70 Chevelle with a JEGS big block and a tunnelram with 4:88 gears and it wasn't even close to the feeling this one gives me. Sorry I can't be more exact.
That's what I'm talking about... ground pounding horsepower! Just in the process of building one of my own. Putting a small block chevy in mine, will still give me the same feeling when I get done.
Where on the blower did you hook up the boost gauge. I have a BDS 871 and I want to mount a boost gauge. Thanks for your help.
