    Thank you, as you can tell I'm an old school kind of guy so I'll have plenty of questions about working on this Tahoe, I'm also a little leery about screwing something up electronically since the whole thing is linked together. I also have to pull the reigns back on modifications (like on the...

    Thanks, I try and keep my mind busy Not sure if off topic photos are allowed but here's a quick run down on the engines in those pictured T-bucket , old school 355 solid flat tappet, double hump heads, this went 7.30's in a 66 nova, t-bucket weighs 1840 lbs which is about 1,000 less than...

    I don't believe you know how big the lip is on the tensioner pulley, I don't know of anyone that has had a belt "jump off" and I have a lot of friends with roots blowers. You can see the tensioner in between the two blowers.

    About that funny shaped intake tube - there's a reason - Performance!

    May he rest in peace, he battled a disease called Sarcoidosis, just like I have been for the last 5 yrs, it's a battle of attrition because you can't beat it, you just try and stay one step ahead of it. Among all his accomplishments I give him making it to 73 yrs old his best and I sure as hell...

    Honestly me too, that's why I liked my 86 T-Type Buick, little unsuspecting to normal people, even the 41 chevy the blower motor is in is a little unsuspecting until you hear it. The carbs are pretty level with the hood, I have a shaker style scoop and I run Moon disc wheel covers to hide the 14...

    Yes, right now my heads are the restriction, as it was in the video the blower and the heads were to small, I had to spin it at 8% over to get the 3 lbs. I eventually went to 12% over but naturally fought some cooling issues, my axles were also undersized and thankfully it just blew the 19.5...

    Honestly there's two ways of thought on these roots style blowers, one is that the belt takes the harmonics out of the crank, the other thought is to run a dampener. Me and the builder went back and forth and since this is more street than track I run an ATI dampener just to be safe.

    That is a big box, so big they had to run 2 small alternators because one regular one wouldn't fit..lol

    Ha ha, that put a smile on my face, man that's a screamer ! Mine is more of a lumbering beast at 6,000 rpm compared to yours, this is a video of the big pulley pull. Like I had mentioned I was only able to get 3 lbs, flipping pulleys would've put me over my safety limit on the 93 octane, it had...

    Those are photos of someone else who reviewed it, that's not mine, I'm still window shopping at this point. I do have a front view photo from one of the vendors One vendor is offering a taller cowl with a flatter front that resembles the HD chevy truck hood

    Thanks, I think the hood will look good, says it's a 2 inch cowl but also says 1.5 inch cowl https://www.jegs.com/i/Key-Parts/576/0864-038/10002/-1

    So I think this is my plan for this one, not to aggressive so it remains a reliable daily driver, a little more performance so it's fun to drive/ tow with and a little suttle enhancement in the looks department to give it that "just a little something going on" look. Probably in this order of...

    Which flywheel do you have now, the heavier one for more kinetic energy or the lighter for faster revving? Looks like you really went through everything to compliment each other, which is what's needed, it'll sure find the weak link in a hurry.

    Here ya go, now of course this is a napa filter and I'm not sure if it's the same as a GM filter or not and I also don't have a regular Tahoe assembly to compare size to either.

    I was making 50 hp per psi of boost on that engine in the video, I was only able to get 3 lbs boost with my pulley/belt combo (4 pulleys and 2 belts) that I took with me, my belt wouldn't fit the next combo of pulleys unfortunately. I wanted to limit myself to 6 lbs with the 93 octane I was...
