buying an older paxton blower fri?

[StangFlyer]

Personally, I wouldn't do it. I would at least go with a NOVI 1200/1500/2000, Vortech, or a ProCharger unit at this point. I'd even get a nitrous system over an old ball drive Paxton. It looks like its seen some heavy, extended use from the photo too. I am not sure what your cash situation looks like, but if you can't immediately up the anti to one of the above I'd stick the $700 aside and keep adding to it until you can swing a new or even a used, more modern style system.

Any ways, I am commenting on this as someone who ran a ball drive Paxton for several years on a 302, and then went to a NOVI 2000 that I still have today on a 377 stroker in my 91 GT. I've also run various Nitrous systems back in the day.
