Blower power question - please read
 

I'm thinking of buying a used A-trim with 8psi clog.
First what is a good price.
Second with my mods, see sig,(assuming I increase fuel delievery) what kind of rwhp numbers could I exect and what kind of MPH in the 1/4mile would it give me.
OR
should I wait for an S-trim or Novi2000 next year.
thanks
Mike

A ribbed A-trim should come in around $2200. As for E.t.'s, it seems you have a traction problem. Look for your MPH to be around 120+.

I think 120+ is a tad optimistic for 8 lbs of A-trim boost. Also considering your free breathing engine I would not be suprised to see 6 pounds at the gauge. I think you would trap somewhere around 117-118.

My guess anyway.

About the $$$, Most used A-trims can be had for about a grand, maybe a little more depending on the condition.

I think you would be much happier with a Novi 2000, or an S-trim.

Exgmguy - The guy said it will show 8pounds, but I dont know, he wants $2k CDN or about $1300USD.
I want traps in the mid 120's minimum with the blower, adding 7-8 mph is not enough in the long run...so I guess I answered my own question..S-trim or n2000 ror an extra $1,000 or so.
Thanks for the input.
