Jeff, sorry. I will eat my shorts on this one. After a lengthy research of
a twin root blower unit for the 4.7, I finally researched enough to provide
the final answer. "It was Lysholm that granted licenses to both Whipple and
Eaton on the root screw technology. The Lysholm root blower is considered
one of the world's best productive root blower."
Except my apology Jeff. You have one of the best units around.
In STAGE III of my Dakota modifications plans, it calls for a SC unit to
produce only 40 percent power.
Are cranking 335HP/375lb of TQ from the crank? What is your rwhp/rwtq from
the original stock rwhp/rwtq?

"Kenne Bell is a cheap Swedish twin root blower. Believe me, if you see the
cost on that item from the homeland of Sweden, if you make you cry to what
Kenne is charging.
The output is only 60hp for a 6psi. Not much for 5K worth of George
Washington paper. "
I reply
Steve I've posted and sent you my dyno results showing 80 hp gain AT THE
REAR WHEELS
which is about ~~100 hp @ flywheel.. What is your bias against Kenne-Bell
that you rag on it so bad?? When you finally get a S/C if ever), then you
can debate as to which one is better, but for now , mine's on, running and
