Any of you guys know anything about this old blower?
Wondering what power potential it really has, and if i can still get pullies to make it blow ALL OF IT.

Lot of stuff on the web. apparently still in production, so parts should be available. Sell new for over 2000.00. 750CFM, 550hp. Should be fun!
Hrmm.... i'm wondering how much power it would make on my Miata. It'd probably have to do a good chunk over 300whp for me to think about doing it.
Looks like i could run it at near 500cfm-ish if i'm reading the map right.

Figure a 5.2" crank pulley, grab a 2.6" charger pulley, and keep my 7400rpm max rpm.

can a stock miata tranny/rear end handle that much power?

Rear end, sure. 6spd trans would handle that just fine out of a centrifugal.
5spd is my limiting factor, which is why i'm considering this. I can't effectively go any further on turbo without swapping transmissions.
Centris are low on torque, so i could probably do 350whp without crossing the "magical" 250ftlbs line, and the 5spd might live for awhile. And i have two spares.

Or have the tires be the limiting factor, can't breaks e36 m3 without traction.

V9 setup would probably have less traction issues than i have now.
Had to park the car because i couldn't log 3rd gear pulls anymore.
