I have a weiand 177 on a chevy small block,which is very similar. Runs like stock,awesome big block like torque the 170 series are good for up to about 10-12 psi. You can expect a 150hp gain if setup right. It all depends on cubes and cams and heads though.

Really depends what you are gonna do with it. They are more of a low to mid range rpm blower,great for the street. There is a guy running 9's with one on a 383. So I won't say they aren't good for the track if you want to go fast but I ain't gonna lie a centrefugal blower or a turbo is go be significantly more efficient. Nohing beats the low end torque of the roots though,great for a heavy car like my velle.

This would be a bad ass setup on an old school car ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I am assuming you are going carb? If so this would make running a centerfugal blower more difficult. Althogh Paxton and Vortech (I think) both make kits for carb'd setups
