I had mine tacked on the pulley/shaft area.

 

Mine is welded. And I highly suggest others do the same.

 

My 1900 is doing really well... if you come across a smoking deal on a 1900 I wouldnt pass it up, but given the choice I go 2300. I already have one...

The bottom line is I do have the blower maxed out right now. Better heads, and a cam that is a little more tailored to boost would definitely add the power... but it has its limit. The 2300 will do everything I have accomplished and do it without even breaking a sweat.

at 14PSI with the 2300 it will run like an animal! And if he wants more boost its only a pulley away.

I know the concern is that a Larger blower can see more laggy, but that difference wont be noticable here. That comes into play when you have a much larger blower spinning low RPM's. Now if he was targeting 6PSI I would venture a guess that the 1900 is more responsive at that RPM level. Basically the faster you spin them, the more respnisive these blowers become. At a certain point, just as with anything else, there is a law of diminishing returns. Meanwhile you deal with extra heat moving out of the blowers efficiency range. At 14PSI his 2300 is going to be a light switch. He will hit 5PSI crossing an intersection when his foot bounces a little...

I have mine welded as well.

 

The intake is going to look great! I complimented mine with a velocity stack at the end... call me crazy but I think that helps. 4" to 6" with a filter clamped on to the 6" side.

 

I have the same velocity stack. 4in to 6in it is just not pictured. I am gonna have a few bungs welded into it. A couple for meth nozzles and another for the passenger side valve cover.

 

So about welding the waterpump. I only have a MIG which i think will work fine but any issues with the heat screwing up bearings?

 

I would just do a couple spot welds, I wouldnt go all the way around it (in one sitting anyway), no need really.

 

Ok. Thanks

 

I had mine more than tacked and still ripped it off. I would suggest finding someone with a tig that knows how to use it. If that ***** up, you're stranded.

 

New era was popping water pumps with his whipple. Check out his sierra thread.
