144 Holley Powercharger...

at least I think that's what it's called..

simple supercharger, single carb setup , I just need to know how tall the supercharger is , so I can make sure that it will fit under the ASCD ram air hood

Car: 1987 IROC Z28
Engine: 6.0L LQ9 crate engine
Transmission: Performa Built 700R4
Axle/Gears: 3.42 10 bolt, Eaton/Moser
9 inches tall from back edge of motor below the distributor mount bracket. Then add height of carb and filter.

I am toying with the idea of a Weiand 142 or 177 for my 383......simple design, no intercooler to hassle with nor extra plumbing nor oil cooler etc etc...... I guess that's why the pros use this design!!

Anyone out there have one on their car? Comments?

A buddy of mine used to run one on his Nova, before he stepped up. he is considering going to TT. here is the link to his site.

I dont recall if he had to have the scoop on it or not. I also think that there is a guy running around here in San Diego that has one under a small cowel hood in a 2nd gen camaro, but for some reason I think that it fits under the factory hood.
