There has to be someway to "OVERDRIVE" the impeller on the sc head to get boost up down low somehow quicker, then use the press valve to keep it at the boost level ya want... A man can dream can't he?!?
There is. Check out my prototype Procharger boost controller on my channel. Eliminates broken belts and lifting the throttle somewhat if you need to pedal. I can make a pass and never lift the throttle when I lose traction.
Richard I would love to see a gen vi bbc with the single torqstorm. I realize that it won't blow the dyno record but I'm interested in as an upgrade for my tow rig.
im pretty sure hes made quite a few bbc videos, just look at the playlist on big blocks and raise up the power curve with how much boost you want too add, a single turbo would be a better option for a tow rig over a procharger they're more for street cars plus a turbo will be way cheaper than a procharger you can make your own turbo kit for 600 ish bucks if you shop smart and plan the build right
@@chrishansen7004 I was mainly interested in the lower cost Torqstorm supercharger because of the ease of install and lower output and price. Just wanting to see what it can do on a relatively stock gen vi 454.
Thank you for the information and time you spend on these videos. I am building an identical build and was curious if you can provide the comp cams part number for the cam used on the 383. I see the specs you posted however I can’t find the cam on Summit. I would really appreciate it.
Hi Richard Are you able to make a centrifugal supercharger video that shows how much restriction is in a long intake length with lots of bends vs a small filter/large filter attached to the back of the supercharger and then a final power run with no filter. Always been curious, the internet is full of misleading information...some say it makes a difference others say it does not.
OMG!!! Richard can you please test a turbo exhaust like @tangelo98 just made on his Lincoln. I need to know how much back pressure that thing is making!!!!
What about a torquestorm on a 5.2/5.9 magnum or TPI engine with stock intake manifold? How much more RPM could you push with runners as long as your leg?
Is there a rule of thumb for parasitic loss for a belt driven blower? I read where someone said it was about 10%. So a turbo making a certain HP at 10psi will make 10% more power than a blower at 10psi.
You’re limited by a ratio of 3 times NA Power if the cam , heads, and blower will operate at the required rpm. If IAT’s are addressed appropriately with correct fuel properties. What ever the head & intake flow x the NA power calculation before going positive boost in the intake.
3 times sounds like a lot I mean that's got to be more than 30psi because what 29.something should get you to 3 time but the supercharger is going to eat some of that
@@richardholdener1727 exactly what said if the blower will supply the air. Naturally aspirated there are limits that are depended on air velocity supplied by atmospheric pressure.
Finally ! No LS engines!🤘🤘
Love the knowledge you're giving.
These are some awesome videos thank you for posting!! There a lot of info to digest , but it’s all awesome!!
That torque tho 🤤 😍. Talk about busting them loose at 80-90 mph under boost lol

think turbo
@@richardholdener1727 ok I get it, I'll stop being lazy and fab a turbo kit for it. 😁

So if I used a centrifugal supercharger with the tpi intake manifold would that produce a flatter power curve?
More Boost = More Better
Hi Richard

I tested that on a turbo (vid is up)

another 500-600 rpm
Well that's an improvement.
Is there a rule of thumb for parasitic loss for a belt driven blower? I read where someone said it was about 10%. So a turbo making a certain HP at 10psi will make 10% more power than a blower at 10psi.
the losses from the blower increase with the power output-not a strict percentage
@@richardholdener1727 ok, so is there a working rule of thumb? I have always heard the 15psi doubles the NA HP rule.
Should do a like for like centrifugal supercharger comparison between vortech, procharger, torque storm, etc
There is no like for like to compare. They all have different sizes, internals steps and power potential.
@@richardholdener1727 fair! Thanks for the reply and original video as I consider a procharger for my sbc...
they work well, there is no bad choice
Wow, I wonder if the gen 7 496 would have a similar response
Love your content, Thanks A lot!
So how much Hp did the big block make on boost
1150
You’re limited by a ratio of 3 times NA Power if the cam , heads, and blower will operate at the required rpm. If IAT’s are addressed appropriately with correct fuel properties. What ever the head & intake flow x the NA power calculation before going positive boost in the intake.

you can't make 3 times the power with either of these superchargers on these motors, and there is no artificial limit

Richard What cam would you use in a 496 built for towing and 4wheeling I'd like to hear you opinion on flat tappet and hydraulic roller cams
did you start with a gen 6
@@richardholdener1727 yes
@@richardholdener1727 I'm asking because I have both a gen Vl and mark lV block
exact model of 383 heads?
It shows I want a supercharged Big Block in my International Scout
4👍's up thank you for sharing
You should probably go with an odd number
What was the compression on the BBC?
10:1
Everybody is running low compression hi boost. I like to see a build with high compression and low boost.
less power
@@richardholdener1727 I enjoy the content you do. Cheers.
Big blocks are good.
