Dont bother reading. I had a KB 1.6 or 1.7 (cant recall which at the time) on my 5.0. It was nice but youde do much better for yourself with a centrifigul blower such as a paxton/vortech/procharger/. Youde be better doing your research over at corral.net then here. With the twin screw you just wont be getting a good HP per $ return when compared to a centrifigal
Thanks im on the corral all the time i came here because i wanted to see what you guys thought being that most of the SC's have eaton blowers which are positive blowers...To be honest with you im not looking for an all out race car this is my daily and i have a 93 gt convertible which is heavy and has an AOD with 3.27's i was told the centrifugal blowers would need me to change gears and really bring the RPM up to notice all the HP..were i would rather have the torque were i drive just above 2000 rpms...They dont have the 1.5 anymore the kit comes with a 2.1 and 6-9 psi...was it a good blower tho?..was it hard to install....how was tuning it?...Thanks.....
I'm only running 5 psi currently. I'm using a 255 LPH fuel pump, 42lb/hr injectors, and a 90mm LMAF. I'll be swapping to a SCT BA2800 MAF whenever I increase the boost. The link in my sig has the mod list for the car and some pictures/videos.
big block torque.
Rod,what did you car dyno?
If you aren't making boost with a S-trim below 5000rpm, then you have serious issues. They just don't work that way. The lag isn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. I think most people who complain about them have never owned one.
With the proper torque converter, you can have your "instant boost" in a 3.27 AOD car. You can also install a blow off valve, and then run a very small high boost pulley and regulate your PSI with the valve. That way you are always near boost, and would eliminate what little lag time there is. However, I would think an IC would be a must in that situation.

Here is a copy of one of my dyno pulls. It is kind of hard to read, but you can see that boost starts to build before 3K rpm, and continues to climb until you let out of it. There are guys running twice as much PSI as I am with smaller pulleys.

You can easily get a converter that will "flash you into boost" and still have an extremely streetable car.
This will explain the idea of using a blow off valve to regulate boost on a centri charger.
