What you said really depends on the vehicle/engine you're strapping the
blower to. If you have the right parts and an engine management system that
can work with the increase airflow then you should be OK up until the
weakest part is stressed beyond its limit. Get the right amount of fuel and
timing with any power adder is essential to amount of HP gained and the
engine's longevity.

>From what I've heard on this list it'll cost a few Gs to "built" a magnum
engine due to limited parts availability as compared to brand X and Y. I
agree with your choice to built it "NA" because you'll probably break OEM
parts with a blower and stock engine management system.

                good point... worth considering... relative to a budget/gain
quotient...
                but let's not forget that there are 9-sec mustangs running
the ol 1320 with
                vortech blowers on them....
