Just my .02

port sure...hog it out....not for stock motor stock cam engine.
On a normally aspirated motor with a good set of heads with large intake ports you would have a point. However, his L98 heads do not have large intake ports from the factory, and porting them as much as possible isn't going to make them big enough to effect port velocity in a negative way. Did I forget to mention that a roots blower will make boost from just off idle? In other words, he will have plenty of "low end punch".

Re: Wieand 144 or 142 Superchargers

Have you considered adding a fiberglass cowl to your existing hood?

BTW, supercharger and cheap don't work in the same sentence.

Re: Wieand 144 or 142 Superchargers

no i can't be adding anothe cowl on top of my ss scoop...that would pretty much just wreck the looks of the hood...i think i'm gonna look into something else, maybe like a 450 HP crate motor or something..thanks for all the input tho guys...

Re: Wieand 144 or 142 Superchargers

what about running a Paxton or equivalent S/C?

that would sit on the side of the motor,but instead of being on a fuel injected car,you could buy a "bonet" to go onto the carb to replace the intake tube that would be for fuel injection.

sorry if that doesnt make sense,hopefully you can get the idea.

that would fit under a stock hood
