Blower or no blower?
Hello everyone, I heav a question and am open to any ideas, comments, facts or even tell me I am nuts. I have an 86 shortbed fleetside silverado. I'm thinking of putting a 540 Bower motor in it can anyone give me any info on rather to go with or without the blower? It is a show track might see the track once or twice just to get a time slip. I will eithe rbe pushing 750+ without or 1000+ with any ideas info anything would be much appreciated. Thanks to all who read n more thanks to all those who reply.

Re: Blower or no blower?
Blown, in my opinion a blower is not a good idea unless the eng was built from the bottom up for a blower. The compression ratio of a blown eng is lower than non-blown. If you are just going to run it once in a while over the quarter mile, get a good nitros setup and use that as a booster, BUT, be careful of how much nitros you inject, it could have the same effect as an eng with to high comp ratio and a blower, IE, GRENADE!!! jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
