Are you just on the verge of the channel taking off and then you'll make money but at the moment it's only supporting itself ? I was wondering why you were getting so skinny ! Lol
good tests. I feel that you're everyday backyard builder would build something similar to these so this is a good reference point. that being said the 383 is still way more motor than the 350, the supporting mods used in the 383 like heads cam and bigger carb definitely show on the dyno graphs. the 350 seemed to have better results with the blower than the 383 did even though it made less than the 383. almost as if the 383 could have seen more of a gain with maybe a bigger or different blower. looking at the hp/trq cross they both seem to have the same cross points at the same rpms but different levels.
Please explain what boost pressure is. Explain why valve and intake size increases restriction and increase boost pressure Please. Why flow is more important than boost. Carl banks explained this on diesel applications. Gassers may find this interesting.
Gail Banks? If you make the na motor more efficient (by almost any means), the motor will make more power at any given boost level (starts with more power and ends with more power)
oh yah and as per b&m we built our blowers bigger than what they needed and under drived them to keep a cooler charge meaning more horsepower and tork than competiters and capabuility to exeed our ratings especially at high rpm. and that is why superchargers are not allowed in built engine racing because its not a even playing feild End of blower 101 THATS WHY GOD GAVE US THE NHRA LOL
If you want to do a Killer test on this platform, I'd love to see same camshaft lift and duration numbers BUT 1 cut on a 99 to 102 lsa. The others on people's thought of the 'must be' 114 to 118 lsa. I call bs. My time on a dyno for my applications I'd never run anything wider than 106. It's be SO awsome if you could work this test in some day. Expec on these small blocks and small blowers where it's going to be a street strip combo fir sure any way. Cylinder pressure makes torque, add boost wonderful things happen. E85 of course, prob will want 3 to 4 ° less timing
Yep would be interesting to see. Though going down to 102 allways seemed a bit desperate, trying to get power from a small lobe. Out at 106 seemed a good compromise, though not if you have a single seater with the right gear ratios
Thanks for this vid! What im gathering from this and the 5.0 vid is a good flowing engine will make more HP with less boost! i want to put one one my 10:1CR, 355 SBC soooooo bad and with my current set up of Edelbrock E210 heads and Thumper cam and all the mods that go with it i should be able to run the smaller pullies and only make up to 3psi and not destroy my hypereutectic pistons! LOL maybe......
When do you start worrying about crank deflection from the blower? I would like one blown motor in my life but thought they needed much more work and maintenance ..I have experience from .4hp - 4000hp. The only blower motors I know are Donovan's running 90-100% nitro..in a more docile set up maybe not as many issues? Ring selection? Not for gas mileage I'm sure.
And after thinking about it for months it finally clicked. THE 355 HAD VALVE FLOAT AT 6000 RPM . anti pump up crain lifters and procomp 400 pound blower valve springs would wake it right up. And on the wild engine its only getting half the boost or so . You say the na cam works good but the boost is being lost through the overlap between the intake and exaust valves during the cycle. not so much the 2 pumps fighting each other like I guessed the first time. its simply blowing the boost right out the exaust during overlap . and thats why your boost levels drop to almost nill. Its a big cam making it show way more than on stock cam. I like to see the big blower cam results compared to the Na cam...
I like the test but would be curious to see results with bigger blowers 671-871 on e 85. I am planning my next build and have a zz3 crate motor that I already upgraded to flat tops. I am thinking of afr 220s and a blow thru turbo or a roots or twin screw carb e85 set up. I have sprayed about 250hp on the zz3 with the flat tops and it runs great but want more power and tired of nos
@@jasonhaley5737 yes but you can't fill up with that at the station though. A lot of Midwest guys can get E85 no problem I guess if you're racing it won't matter
Hey awesome video. I have some questions for you for a blown 355 sbc. i am using the low low rpm approach and want to make immense torque at low rpm without revving past 4500 rpm. Its for a 2nd gen camaro with tall gears. XR252HR or smaller cam. i want to spin the blower fast and up to 4500 or lower engine rpm and 4800 max. with a big blower and maybe significant boost and drive in a low rpm band with really tighter than stock antiballoon plate lock up torque converter.. i want big boost off idle with a bleed valve. target idle is 400 rpm. 6.125" H beams with 1.165" MAHLE blower piston 0.045" headgasket. Any CC chamber piston and head. Looking at trickflow super 23 175cc? Or jegs #5140000 heads 180cc? The tires are big radials on 15x12 wheels. A close ratio TH350 or 400. Cruiser not a race car. maybe a dart block with large bore same stroke or less.
Conclusion: Don't put a blower on a weak combination unless you just want that blower look and sound, and don't mess with these baby blowers on decent combinations, they will only disappoint compared to a more appropriate sized blower. Not mentioned was the air temps, especially with the faster drive ratio. Comparing an old blower design like the 144 with Edelbrock's latest SBC kit, they both need more drive ratio to make decent boost, and while the 144 gets hot pretty quickly, the Edelbrock would be barely above ambient temperature, even after a few pulls.
Why not an 8-71 on a low rpm 350 sbc. 400-450 rpm idle, XR252HR or smaller roller cam. Tighter than stock blower converter maybe even a low rpm lock up. High boost at low rpm. Blower spins up fast on the cog. Forged crank, Hbeams and MAHlE custom pistons. Shall it work?
If there would be a guy to rip my blueprint 350 out and give it to ……. You are the guy lol. That being said It would be amazing for you to build mine 😭😭😂
I WAS LOOKING AT PUTTING A 671 OR 871 ON MY 350 LT1, BUT THIS BUILT 383 WITH THE LITTLE BLOWER WOULD LOOK ALOT BETTER IN MY FIREBIRD. 650 HP IS A LITTLE LOW, BUT I'D ADD A 125 SHOT NOS
@@KingJT80this dude is just looking for attention this is the reason dudes kill themselves in cars is cause they think they can handle more than what they really can
Sorry sorry sorry sorry LOL I dont think its all volumetric efficency . Because the belt system on the single carb superchargers the belt is designed to slip as pop off valve under detonation to rescue the supercharger it will let the blower turn backwards. And your running enough unchecked tork to spin tires inside of rims. I think your crossing that line. By unchecked I mean no drive train drag on it. I think thats 60-80 horsepower and tork that is not going to show on lower torkband. probably 60 on 350 and 80 on 383 the tork is just not going to hit that belt so hard with drive train behind it. And I keep seeing in my head a race car spec decked block with piston coming all the way to top of block and a small cc chamber head on that super mouse saying 13 to 1 another variable? Under another thought the supercharger and turbo under the load of vehicle. and your boost graph starts at 4000 rpm their going to pack the cylinders better. Your turbo dynos are going to be weird too. Because your not controlling the spool valve are you? Even though it doesent have a belt to slip. I Hope this is a more well thought out Explanation
@@richardholdener1727 Along with my little triangle pop off valve with 2 little thin springs I took off lol Afraid I was loosing boost and cranked down lol I should probably replace The belt tensioner springs on B&M and WIEND Id think are designed just heavy enough to hold

Is it commonplace to only make ~10HP/psi with these 177 Weiands? I realize the 350 was a basic truck type motor, but that seems like more what I’ve seen from the smaller 142’s. Actually, with a 6” lower and 3.05 upper I’ve seen a 142 kit make more power per psi so I just thought the 177 would be more efficient.
@@TheBdubya24 A 174 on a BB I imagine would be struggling from damn near idle lol. Well maybe not with some peanut ports or something but with any type of good head and a decent cam on a BBC I don’t even know why you would use anything that size personally. Maybe a bone stock head/mild can/stock displacement street setup would be about the only situation I would run a blower of that air volume on a BB. The 174s are well sized for like mild 302/305 type of combinations honestly, that’s more what it’s able to supply decent airflow to support.

Are you just on the verge of the channel taking off and then you'll make money but at the moment it's only supporting itself ? I was wondering why you were getting so skinny ! Lol
good tests. I feel that you're everyday backyard builder would build something similar to these so this is a good reference point.
that being said the 383 is still way more motor than the 350, the supporting mods used in the 383 like heads cam and bigger carb definitely show on the dyno graphs. the 350 seemed to have better results with the blower than the 383 did even though it made less than the 383. almost as if the 383 could have seen more of a gain with maybe a bigger or different blower. looking at the hp/trq cross they both seem to have the same cross points at the same rpms but different levels.
Thanks for the SBC stuff!
Always amazed how bad blowers are psi for psi compared to modern superchargers and turbos
blowers were never designed to compress air like a turbo. they were designed to move air hence the name blower.
Bigger engine bigger supercharger.. Lol
Bigger is better.. Glad i watched this.
Was thinking of putting one of these on my 385 sbc.😁
Personally I blame squirrels
Don't you have a job? 😝

Great data! Definitely glad I went with a Procharger based on my heads and cam combo.
Do that pro charger whistle at idle?
@@johnnyappleseed1131 not much but I paid extra for the quieter gears
I always thought my engine made 400 hp, now I know! Thank you!
Very good info. Would've loved to hear that 383 idle and doing the dyno run
Please explain what boost pressure is. Explain why valve and intake size increases restriction and increase boost pressure Please. Why flow is more important than boost. Carl banks explained this on diesel applications. Gassers may find this interesting.
Gail Banks? If you make the na motor more efficient (by almost any means), the motor will make more power at any given boost level (starts with more power and ends with more power)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!!
Hey Richard I would love to see you do something with a buick 350. I have a gs350 the aftermarket is terrible for them and they get no love.
Kenne Bell use to make parts for the Buick.
oh yah and as per b&m we built our blowers bigger than what they needed and under drived them to keep a cooler charge meaning more horsepower and tork than competiters
and capabuility to exeed our ratings especially at high rpm.
and that is why superchargers are not allowed in built engine racing because its not a even playing feild
End of blower 101
THATS WHY GOD GAVE US THE NHRA LOL
blowers are great-but not the greatest (no such thing)
If you want to do a Killer test on this platform, I'd love to see same camshaft lift and duration numbers BUT 1 cut on a 99 to 102 lsa. The others on people's thought of the 'must be' 114 to 118 lsa. I call bs. My time on a dyno for my applications I'd never run anything wider than 106. It's be SO awsome if you could work this test in some day. Expec on these small blocks and small blowers where it's going to be a street strip combo fir sure any way. Cylinder pressure makes torque, add boost wonderful things happen. E85 of course, prob will want 3 to 4 ° less timing
this was already a 108
Yep would be interesting to see. Though going down to 102 allways seemed a bit desperate, trying to get power from a small lobe. Out at 106 seemed a good compromise, though not if you have a single seater with the right gear ratios
You should do the same comparison or a similar one with a turbo so we can see the difference in spool times and at higher boost
Thanks for this vid! What im gathering from this and the 5.0 vid is a good flowing engine will make more HP with less boost! i want to put one one my 10:1CR, 355 SBC soooooo bad and with my current set up of Edelbrock E210 heads and Thumper cam and all the mods that go with it i should be able to run the smaller pullies and only make up to 3psi and not destroy my hypereutectic pistons! LOL maybe......
When do you start worrying about crank deflection from the blower? I would like one blown motor in my life but thought they needed much more work and maintenance ..I have experience from .4hp - 4000hp. The only blower motors I know are Donovan's running 90-100% nitro..in a more docile set up maybe not as many issues? Ring selection? Not for gas mileage I'm sure.
Like the old B&M supercharger.
And after thinking about it for months it finally clicked.
THE 355 HAD VALVE FLOAT AT 6000 RPM .
anti pump up crain lifters and procomp 400 pound blower valve springs would wake it right up.
And on the wild engine its only getting half the boost or so .
You say the na cam works good but the boost is being lost through the overlap
between the intake and exaust valves during the cycle.
not so much the 2 pumps fighting each other like I guessed the first time.
its simply blowing the boost right out the exaust during overlap .
and thats why your boost levels drop to almost nill.
Its a big cam making it show way more than on stock cam.
I like to see the big blower cam results compared to the Na cam...
NO SIR
Thanks Richard. It needs a bigger blower? Maybe a 6-71?
I like the test but would be curious to see results with bigger blowers 671-871 on e 85. I am planning my next build and have a zz3 crate motor that I already upgraded to flat tops. I am thinking of afr 220s and a blow thru turbo or a roots or twin screw carb e85 set up. I have sprayed about 250hp on the zz3 with the flat tops and it runs great but want more power and tired of nos
Would it be possible for you to do a video comparing all the chop monster or chop king cams on an ls5.3 and on collector or exhaust length?
chop monster?
Need to add a 200 hp shot of nitrous with the blower!
The 350 would have loved some turbos
I'd love to see this test with a methanol carburetor. I think the gains would be massive.
i heard these thing love E85 cause they make a lot of heat
@@KingJT80 correct. E85 will definitely help, but methanol will help more because of even better charge cooling.
@@jasonhaley5737 yes but you can't fill up with that at the station though. A lot of Midwest guys can get E85 no problem I guess if you're racing it won't matter
Hey awesome video. I have some questions for you for a blown 355 sbc. i am using the low low rpm approach and want to make immense torque at low rpm without revving past 4500 rpm. Its for a 2nd gen camaro with tall gears. XR252HR or smaller cam. i want to spin the blower fast and up to 4500 or lower engine rpm and 4800 max. with a big blower and maybe significant boost and drive in a low rpm band with really tighter than stock antiballoon plate lock up torque converter.. i want big boost off idle with a bleed valve. target idle is 400 rpm. 6.125" H beams with 1.165" MAHLE blower piston 0.045" headgasket. Any CC chamber piston and head. Looking at trickflow super 23 175cc? Or jegs #5140000 heads 180cc? The tires are big radials on 15x12 wheels. A close ratio TH350 or 400. Cruiser not a race car. maybe a dart block with large bore same stroke or less.
400 rpm?
youd need a big ass blower crank pulley to do that at that low of RPM. maybe try for 6000 RPM
@@richardholdener1727
Is there a way to make 600 tq and 300 hp with a blown small block Chevy ? Hypothetically what would be the basics ?
Would this work on a carbureted LS?
42 different kinds of awesome
Conclusion: Don't put a blower on a weak combination unless you just want that blower look and sound, and don't mess with these baby blowers on decent combinations, they will only disappoint compared to a more appropriate sized blower.
Not mentioned was the air temps, especially with the faster drive ratio. Comparing an old blower design like the 144 with Edelbrock's latest SBC kit, they both need more drive ratio to make decent boost, and while the 144 gets hot pretty quickly, the Edelbrock would be barely above ambient temperature, even after a few pulls.
Why not an 8-71 on a low rpm 350 sbc. 400-450 rpm idle, XR252HR or smaller roller cam. Tighter than stock blower converter maybe even a low rpm lock up. High boost at low rpm. Blower spins up fast on the cog. Forged crank, Hbeams and MAHlE custom pistons. Shall it work?
@@zAvAvAz Bet the maiden voyage kicks out the head gaskets.
8-71 on a 540 inch Cadillac, please! 👍
If there would be a guy to rip my blueprint 350 out and give it to ……. You are the guy lol. That being said It would be amazing for you to build mine 😭😭😂
I noticed this is a old video but with that 383 combo NA with that cam ?Could you daily drive that with that 600 lift cam?
lift does not alter drivability much-that is duration and over lap
Bigger motor, less resistance to boost = less boost, smaller motor more resistance = more boost. Resistance sucks horse power.
Great info so basically saying better to go nitrous more power lots cheaper lol
I WAS LOOKING AT PUTTING A 671 OR 871 ON MY 350 LT1, BUT THIS BUILT 383 WITH THE LITTLE BLOWER WOULD LOOK ALOT BETTER IN MY FIREBIRD. 650 HP IS A LITTLE LOW, BUT I'D ADD A 125 SHOT NOS
650HP in a gbody or fbody would walk a hellcat and keep up with a shelby/ZL1...its enough.
@@KingJT80this dude is just looking for attention this is the reason dudes kill themselves in cars is cause they think they can handle more than what they really can
Sorry sorry sorry sorry LOL
I dont think its all volumetric efficency .
Because the belt system on the single carb superchargers the belt is designed to slip
as pop off valve under detonation to rescue the supercharger it will let the blower turn backwards.
And your running enough unchecked tork to spin tires inside of rims.
I think your crossing that line.
By unchecked I mean no drive train drag on it.
I think thats 60-80 horsepower and tork that is not going to show on lower torkband.
probably 60 on 350 and 80 on 383
the tork is just not going to hit that belt so hard with drive train behind it.
And I keep seeing in my head a race car spec decked block with piston coming all the way to top of block and a small cc chamber head on that super mouse saying 13 to 1 another variable?
Under another thought the supercharger and turbo under the load of vehicle.
and your boost graph starts at 4000 rpm
their going to pack the cylinders better.
Your turbo dynos are going to be weird too.
Because your not controlling the spool valve are you?
Even though it doesent have a belt to slip.
I Hope this is a more well thought out Explanation
belt designed to slip under detonation? sorry
@@richardholdener1727 Along with
my little triangle pop off valve with 2 little thin springs I took off lol
Afraid I was loosing boost and cranked down lol I should probably replace

Is it commonplace to only make ~10HP/psi with these 177 Weiands? I realize the 350 was a basic truck type motor, but that seems like more what I’ve seen from the smaller 142’s. Actually, with a 6” lower and 3.05 upper I’ve seen a 142 kit make more power per psi so I just thought the 177 would be more efficient.
I have a 174 on a bbc, it wheezes out quickly.
@@TheBdubya24 A 174 on a BB I imagine would be struggling from damn near idle lol. Well maybe not with some peanut ports or something but with any type of good head and a decent cam on a BBC I don’t even know why you would use anything that size personally. Maybe a bone stock head/mild can/stock displacement street setup would be about the only situation I would run a blower of that air volume on a BB. The 174s are well sized for like mild 302/305 type of combinations honestly, that’s more what it’s able to supply decent airflow to support.
Can I use the 2nd cam on a "daily drive" blown 383...? Is 8.8:1 ratio enough with this cam? What part number? Which stall and rear ratio should we use?
you don't want that 383 cam in a daily driver

Have you ever dynoed a stock TBI 350?
Stroked and blown… Ahhhh…
Bevis and Buthead- probably.
Find it hard to spend 3500 plus for a blower setup when you can get easy 450 hp on carb s for much less ???
yeah you have to spin it faster with the 7 inch pulley and to 7K RPM otherwise yeah why bother? but if you spin that 177, no NA small block unless its a big 434 is gonna make 650. thats 496 big block territory
I'm curious what the IAT differences were between the two engines.
Have you done a blow through dual plain intake and could your improve response through higher torque numbers
dual plane adds low speed compared to single plane-works the same under boost (this had the blower intake-also not great for low speed)
Bigger motor with better heads just swallows the boost
how much you think having this setup intercooled would net you?
NOT MUCH AT THESE BOOST LEVELS (AND IT HAS CHARGE COOLING ALREADY FROM THE CARB)
Would a 177 work on a 454 bbc
yes-if you only wanted 600 hp or so
they make a kit on it but Richard is right. 600HP is about all it has in it . should step up to an 8-71 on a BBC
How about the 8-71 on them both
Richard, not worried about the 2 bolt block?
not this level

What is the difference between 142 vs 177? On a 383 stroker engine.

I agree-we should contact General Engines and the Ford Engine Company and complain!

Wrong cam for 383 for boost. Perfect for NA. Wrong LSA for boost.
#WRONGCAM
@richardholdener1727 I'm sure you are well aware of this. You even mentioned it in the video. Certainly don't want any valve overlap in boosted applications. You know way more than I do. I'm just an amateur hot rodder (old school).
you do want overlap in a cam under boost-if it makes more power na-it will make more power under boost
That blower looks gay azphuk. Skinny belt on a 12 inch snout. How about a hot rod blower? 6-71 or 8-71? That would go on a car that you didn't want anyone to see it because of the embarrassment. 😵😬😁
If you think the blower belt size dictates something about you-you have issues
The school of hard knocks that youve started you didnt tell every body to do certain things to be able to run that race gas .
1 They put it in their car and the car never runs again and they cant figure out what to fix and keep throwing money at it and their funds are limited.
2 4/5s of your fan base Are dirty White boys ,Thats including other races Should say backyard wrenches,
on a limited budget.
Thats going to run 92 pump gas .
And its a whole different Ball game.
And having a new built 10 thousand dollar engine
and all they have to show for it is a bunch of hammered pistons and shortened rods.
But have spent their life savings building that engine.
3 Unless they run a 6000 rpm stall converter theyl never see that extra couple hundred
horse power you just showed us here .
in fact with the race gas they lost 2 10s in the Quarter mile after adding the blower
and cant figure out why .
Im a fan not a troll.
Do this video again on 92 pump gas
and get us through the hard knocks.
Thats what your good at s
just letting you know about our needs thank you for the videos
PUMP GAS ONLY CHANGES THE REQUIRED TIMING
First
GREED YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE WHAT THE TITLE SAYS BLOWN 350 VS WILD 383 STROKER .
NOT BLOWN WILD 383 .
YOUR PEEING ALL OVER YOUR LEG AND HAVENT GOT A CLUE LOL
THE REASON BEING IS THE FORCE OF THE WIND HITTING YOU IN THE FACE.
IS GREATER THAN FORCE OF YOUR PEE SHOOTING OUT
BLOWER AND TURBO 101
YOU THINK 12 + 12 =24 wrong what happens when you blow up 2 balloons and put
the spouts together?
The answer is nothing.
You had me going lol big stars in my eyes ok Bling
I had to go back to my roots to see what was going on HA HA HA
That 383 is 12 to one your blower is 12 to 1 on dyno 400 crank is 100 horse
so were taking it out of picture because reaching higher in cylinder might even push 13 and a half to one
a little turbo at 25 psi would have been better raising it to 15 to one but the 1600 degree exaust tells me
a a realy big detonation is coming on the hot air making fuel develope fumes making explosion too great for heads to handle.
purpose built is every thing
your 383 had forced induction already going on without blower the reason you got a extra hundred horse at end of your pull was at 7000 rpm 9si finaly exeded your 12 to one compression making like 14 to 15 to one.
so lets go your little 350 blown against your built 350 wild card taken out of picture
stock 350 supercharged will beat built 350 because even though even at 12 and a half to one off throttle
the blower at 5 psi makes 7-8 to one at 5 psi as it goes through rpm it exede s 13-1 compression and keeps going.
even though your built 350 might run more horse power the blown 350
exedes on tork maybe not on dyno yet double the back pressure
on your dyno and watch what that beautifull little blower does lol
under load it starts packing the cylinders twice as much upping horse power and tork
at 15- to 16 to one compression your underdog just ripped apart your built 350
Go ahead prove me wrong
As per B&M that little blower forced induction does every thing cam and heads do
and as per B&M
up to 6000 rpm than a cam can start helping and you have to go springs and rollers to fight
valve float
And as per me I prefer goodwrench 190 horse box engine for its hollowed epoxy filled valves
that have never failed in 20 years and comp 400 pound valve spring crain anti pump up lifters
better pistons and bearings not to exeed 9 and a half to 1
eldor brock 750 for its low end tork
and your always better having cooler 5-7 charge
the higher rpm barrier crossed will up that boost level all on its own
lighter valve train means higher rpm as per you richard lol
oh yah and as per b&m we built our blowers bigger than what they needed and under drived them to keep a cooler charge meaning more horsepower and tork than competiters
and capabuility to exeed our ratings especially at high rpm.
and that is why superchargers are not allowed in built engine racing because its not a even playing feild
End of blower 101
THATS WHY GOD GAVE US THE NHRA LOL
feel free to switch supercharger with turbo any where in supercharger turbo 101
the same basics apply and i forgot for stainless valve needing 9/16 rocker studs
And rich even though my 144 is rated 144cfm its the same size as your 177 blower
you have so much to learn-but thnx for all the comments
@@richardholdener1727 You pegged that one
It kind of angers me that the roots superchargers doesnt get the respect that they dont get the respect that they should get because the dyno brake isnt enough
to show their real horsepower and tork
the only reason the turbo does half fast is it makes its own back pressure.
bad builds on top of it making them look bad its like calling nitro alcahol
Yikes.
That blower is the very definition of a poser. What a waste of $.
its not the blower-we made 1000 hp with it
