"mini blower"

would it be safe to put one of those weiand or holley single quad blowers on my motor with hyp. pistons? also how much boost can you get out of one of those "mini blowers" and what kind of power gain does it give. my motor is 9.6:1 compression.

with your set-up i wouldn't recommend it, the roots style blower creates alot more heat then a centrifugal blower, your compression @ 9.6:1 is on the very top of the scale for a blown application, so you would not be able to run very much boost without detenation, also the hyper piston are considered very fragile when detenation occurs, one slight lean condition and you'll be replacing your lower end.

this is just my personal opinion

if fuel quality is kept up and boost and timing stays conservative then you could be ok.
