I do not see why you could not use them with a blower???? What issues do you think you may have? One suggestion, If you are using over 8psi, get your block setup so you can put the rubber O rings around each piston! I was blowing gaskets left and right once I got over 8psi
, then, went to the O ring method and it solved my issues.

there was an issue in High Performance Pontiac where they discussed that issue on old GTO's. they used a similar method with steel rings around the cylinders to help stop from blowing the head gaskets all the time.
