Car nows runs@35psi!!!!
ON ALL FOUR TIRES.....
No but seriously I had this guy offer to sell me a 144 pro-street blower for my carbed 355, my question is what's needed to run this power adder? The motor currently has aluminum heads/victor intake/holley750DP/pop-ups/roller-rockers/headers...uh nothing stock to make the list short. So, am I wasting my time and not-yet-spent-money on this adder or what? It says in Jegs that they are intended for stock motors.

Car: 1982 Camaro Z28
Engine: electric
Transmission: powerglide
Axle/Gears: 10 bolt
two things that would be good to have
1. adjustable fuel pressure regulator (boost/vacuum controlled)
2. a msd ingnition box that retards the timing per psi
theres plenty of other things you could use/ need but it all depends on how much psi you plan to run

I had a 6-71 on my 68..but my fuel pressure was not set according to boost.. just left it at 6#.. it was a carbed application.. I thought only FI needed a boost referenced fuel press. reg.

Since the 144 blower is a draw-through, boost referenced fuel pressure is unnecessary. Of course make sure your system can supply the 5 to 7psi it will need to work correctly.....
A 144 might be small for a higher reving small block withe good heads.....

Pop up pistons? With a blower?? Not this guy 
Seriously, popups are putting your compression WAY over what you should be running for a roots blower. A roots blower likes 7.5-8.5 depending on boost levels.
