Mad Man Box doing a test run of a Box 871 Blown 427 SBC. Runs on pump gas (E85) and makes over 1,000 HP. This is going into a 1932 Ford. Nothing like blower surge to make your day.
Honestly has to be one of the best sounding SBC engines out there. You've got her tuned perfectly in this video. I'd pay good money to hear a car go down the strip with this setup
On a lighter note, that is one of the best sounding, quickest responding blown small blocks I've ever heard. It also has that very distinct and equally rare exhaust note, where as the rpm reaches a certain point, individual notes become what I can only describe as a single tone, similar to a whoosh of air. Much like a Top Fuel Engine does. To accomplish that level of performance with any fuel other than Nitro, well in my opinion says a lot about your knowledge of Engine building, and what components work together best. That combination you have there would be very impressive to see making a pass. Thanks for sharing it with us. Some of us still know how to appreciate fine craftsmanship.
WelLRoundeDSquarE thank you. You are very well tuned into what you are listening too. We enjoy building engines. It never gets old. 😊 gary has over 40 years experience and is self taught. He never had a book telling him what he could or couldn’t do so he learned to work outside the box. He makes great combinations. School can’t teach you everything. Thanks for stopping by.
Rick James well at least you have some good things from the relationship. Nice that you are still working on mechanical stuff. Hey, it doesn’t matter why you can afford do what you can do. We use to modify gas remote control cars when we couldn’t do anything more. Just keep moving forward. Hope you can stop by someday with your own hot rod.😊
Blower surge is nothing more than a rich/lean condition that can be tuned out (i.e. the motor is not tuned correctly) it can be tuned out be it carbs, EFI & even mechanical injection, often people do it intentionally because they think it sounds cool, it makes real tuners cringe because it is an out of tune rich/lean condition and it also has NOTHING to do with the cam that is another misconception, it is often heard more on mechanical injection on a blown application drag race, tractor pullers etc because they only care about wide open throttle but even those the surge can be tuned out
Shes cranky, I've never heard a blown carby engine surge like this.. I've only ever heard MFI cars with blower surge this aggressively. It revs so crisply and cleanly good lord thats impressive. Please tell us more about the combo, heads, compression etc.
Box Performance Inc. lol! I'm an otr driver, when I'd come home, I slept with my father's 72 Chevrolet 355 with 671 bds blower next to me.lol that's why your engine tickles the right spots!!!! lol!
Make a 10hr loop of surge and throttle whacks I’ll use it as “fan” noise while I sleep. Need background noise cuz my ears are fugged from this anyways. Love it, assembling a carbureted 8-71 496 and a 14-71 598 with enderle injecrion rn.
@@blowersurge The only people that don't are people that i don't want to be around..🤣 This video brought back some good old memories. 20 years ago i used to work within earshot of whipple, and i heard cars screaming on the dyno all day long. Across the parking lot was an old engine builder that built everything from Top Fuel Hydro boat motors to Offy's. And about 5 doors down was one of the most historic original 427 Cobras on earth that occasionally ripped off burnouts in the parking lot. Now my life is boring and i work next to a glass company and a landscaper.. lol So thanks for the video..😁
I'll go out on a limb and say Deeremeyer1 loves the sound of his own voice, and sounds to me like some book smart person that will happily tell you how to do everything, but when it comes down to it, will never build anything himself, because he's too damn afraid of making a mistake and looking like a fool. Making mistakes, only makes you human, blowing smoke up everyone's ass, while never actually doing anything with your life, makes you look the fool. He also falls into the category of folks that love to patronize you, thinking stroking your ego will get them a "deal". Too bad for them I have no Ego, and effin hate to be patronized. Serious backfire, ROFLMAO. Peace to All good Men.
WelLRoundeDSquarE yes, we run into this a lot. Everyone knows how to build an engine and they love to tell us how to do it but you don’t see them running their own shop. Thanks for posting, we appreciate your words.
That is one bad ass motor that would scare me half to death in a four-speed and 22 transmission hooked up to that I don’t even know if my transmission could even handle that
We build blower engines all the time and if there is no such thing as blower surge that means the blower is not tuned right you are supposed to start the car up and is supposed to sound like a idling car,
@@blowersurge That is a big for sure. I did more research on blower surge and now understand it better that I even did when messing with Jimmy blowers. Thanks for the upload.
@@tomnekuda3818 I have to say it is nice that you researched it so that you understand why some people keep the surge. So many people don't understand it. 👍
Hey guy's really boyz Zoomies in the shop .. Why your "Tuner" guy wasn't setting up the carburetors with O2 sensor's installed is a mystery to me weld in bungs on a set of shop headers for the small block and your in business .But Zoomies in the shop .. Wow that's a first for me ....
It has to do with multiple factors but we have good luck with Blower Shop Blowers more than anyone. The camshaft and the tune all affect the surge. Good luck
The video may only show some of the adjustments made to tune the engine. We run them multiple times until they are adjusted to where he wants them. They may have been adjusted at another time.
I’ve heard lots of reasons why these engines idle the way they do and that with tuning it can be smoothed out. Box performance, could you explain please? I’m talking about a blown street engine not a race engine. Reason I ask is I’d like to build a blown small block but don’t want an idle like this on a regularly driven car. Sounds awesome though, great work

Blower surge happens because it’s too rich at idle. If you notice, he had it leaned out at one point and the idle was stable. Then he brought the idle screws back out a little and the surge came back. Some people like that. I hate it. I have a 6-71 blown small block in my hot rod. I tune that out completely so it doesn’t surge at all. If I backed the idle screws out 1/4 turn, the surge would come back. As Box Performance said though, the build has a lot to do with it as well. Some blower motors are more sensitive to surging than others.
Sorry, i missed some comment. You can tune the surge out but many customers prefer it so we leave it. But like the other reply stated some build have more surge than others.

That up-and-down is called "hunting". My dad used to hate it when the Jimmy was cold.
Only new engines do that hunt like that like the Jimmy's. We had one too. This engine has blower surge.
Turbos and nitrous combined could never sound this good !
I agree!
Love that surge. I bet people back away from you on the street. Like whoa 😳

Yes!! Thank you
E85 sbc blower motor with zoomies hell yes.
Sounds like it has a tighter lobe separation cam than a typical blower cam of around 114.
When you get it tuned properly that surge will be long gone !
Thanks for that tip. Lol
I love blower surge, but if I'm running carbs, most times ill tune it out. Wonder what the dynamic compression is on this small block..
It sounds so good
Thanks

What causes blower surge and how do you get rid of it?
It is the combination of the build and the tune. The tune is rich so if you adjust the tune more lean it will reduce or eliminate the surge.
Old man getting mad..lol doesn't need young buck telling him shit

How can you tune the engine when it has that big blower serge. How can you tell if it's tuned right.
Hi Matthew, they can tell by adjusting the carb and the idle and by experience. You can bring the idle up and the surge will decrease.
I want that in my 15 challenger
I think you you need it too!
That’s bad to the bone but I’d settle with a N/A V8 in my foxbody. I miss having the health to tinker that was half the fun.
