Blower
So I know absolutely nothing about super chargers and boost systems. I want to recreate something like this eventually and don’t know where to start. Help

Re: Blower
That would be a type of roots blower.
Small scale would be something like a weiand 142 or 177 blowers. Depending on how much power you need
Edelbrock makes a e force blower that’s similar
Bigger would be the common 6-71. Its much bigger and would make more power
Motor has to be strong for the bigger stuff. The small blowers making 450-550 ish hp isnt alot and can be used on stock type rebuild bottom ends but its always good to upgrade to better internals

Re: Blower
Carb makes it easier. But they have made injection intakes or tbi type throttles to convert to injection. So it could be done either way
Some efi 6-71 systems were pretty complex and expensive from what i recall
But alot if companies are making carb type throttle bodies that have injectors mounted under neath and self tune somewhat. Its basically the easiest way to go efi even tho it may not be the best way. In my opinion, injecting at the port right above the valve is the best for driving performance but the new systems seem to be ok
Injecting fuel on top the blower keeps it abit cooler and lubricated somewhat so those are good things
