I have a 355 and a 142 mini-blower that fits under a 4" cowl in my chevelle. For reference sake,my buddy has a 82 camaro and he has a 2" cowl hood and the min-blower would clear it with a drop base air cleaner.

yes it is. Great unit for the price. Best bang for the buck v.s. Nitrous IMHO. Never have to refil the blower.

thats what i say, everyone always tells me to get nitrous but i think you should get permante power instead of shots of power it makes more sence. if you want more power after that then add nitrous.

Re: roots chager under 4 inch cowl?
I don't care for nitous as it gets expensive in a hurry! Not to get into a debate over Nitrous v.s. blower but to make things clear a mini-blower v.s a 100 shot constantly,the blower wins hands down. Why? Money well spent for years to come. a refil on a bottle every other weekend or every weekend gets old. How many passes you get v.s. full time power everywhere.
Once again,money well spent is a mini-blower on a 283 to 383.
I don't know how tall it is but heres a pic.
