new member... few questions
well i just picked up an 88 iroc. as of now its a 350tpi, im concidering stroking it, and want to go carbed, my other car is fuel injected, and this isnt a daily driver, its a toy, and id like to go carbed so i can learn carbs... and because i was concidering a roots style blower.
is anyone here running a blower like this? i was thinking weiand but honestly dont know much about camaros, cars yes, camaros no.

Re: new member... few questions
Theres a few guys on this board that have roots style blower. You could find plenty by using the search feature. On another note, i would recommend a centrifigul style like a procharger or vortech, that way you can keep it under the stock hood, and it requires less fab work than the x-71 type blowers

Re: new member... few questions
thanks. i did use the search quite a bit already, im not new to forums at all, and i hate when newbs come along and ask the same few questions twice a day.
i do like the idea of a centri, and plan on putting a centri on my mustang, just want to go differant w. the maro. ive always liked roots/twinscrew blowers for multiple reasons, and if i had to throw a big hood on the maro to fit it then so be it, not a huge problem.
btw... im not here to start any **** w. any of you guys. i mentioned my mustang and yes i have a stang and a camaro, ive seen numerous times stang ppl come here or other camaro forums just to start ****, this is not the case... im here simply to learn more about my new car.

Re: new member... few questions
the roots blower like a 6-71 or 8-71 will come out of the hood regardless if it's a 4" cowl or not it'll still be higher than that. You will need aftermarket heads or the 86-down type bolt pattern to mate up with the blower lower intake. In 87-up years the center 2 holes on the heads are at a different angle. Any other questions just post up.
