My roots blower deal was dry and i needed to be towed up and back.Worked great when i had consistent crew chief,but now with very limited help its so much easier to drive the procharger up and back..no assistance needed.Was pretty cool at an ihra track last year ran two back to back 5.96 and drove her back to the pits.

No more wheelie bar!! Car leaves in the .960 to .970 range and never wheelies or gets weird outta the hole.

No more worrying about weather swings which with a roots blower meant alot of pill changes.My procharger runs an apd carb and has main jets and air bleeds which are way more forgiving unless you have a massive weather change.Cant even count how many times ive seen the blower guys lean a motor out missing a pill change.

My procharger runs a front drive which means no more worrying about blowing off a belt at the worst time.She uses gears and a lil gear oil with virtually no maintenance.

And lastly if your a roots or screw blower guy i sure would love to see you womp womp your throttle at 1000 to 1100 feet...unless of course its 4th of july!!

Pedaling a blower motor is one thing but ripping the throttle on the top end is another. There are racers doing it but its extremly hard on the crank and rods. Someone who does it on a regular bases told me each rip is equal to 1 pass on a aluminum rod and they change crank and rods a lot
