Come on now, don't be scared... it's just a dirty ole work truck...

Go ahead and put togther about $10k for me and ill twin turbo the **** out of the truck

I think the misfire might have been a plug wire issue so I replaced the plug wires and plugs yesterday. Plugs looked fine but I had a lot of cruise time on them as well. I fixed my pressure transducer as well and swapped the fuel jet from a 24 to a 38 I believe. Havent tried it yet of course...

You just need to add a turbo to that blower to give it more volume.

This got me thinking....

You know how nicely an LSA blowers inlet location would work with a intercooled turbo setup I'm surprised I've never seen it done.

I almost did it...actually already sent money for an LSA blower while I had the turbo but decided I didn't want the headache of messing with all the accessories to get the belt alignment right.

It still wouldn't have made my turbo setup any faster though, would've slowed it down if anything.

Yeah... is there really any advantage to a blower/turbo combo?

Throttle response and low end of the blower with the top end of the turbo...in theory. Getting it to work correctly and in a controllable manner is a bit trickier.
