tbs250 baby blower

Hey Guys, need a favor, going to put a baby on a 565 in a dragster. Could some one post or send me pics of the front of your engine, needing info on mounting a alt, belt drive pump, crank trigger.
And does a person retain a harmonic balancer ? or hub?

I have a couple hubs and timing ring I will sell if anyone needs one. I ran a hub instead of a balancer...

Rick, you can go to Oakley Engine Facebook page there you'll find several photos of their 250 set up. In my case they move the alt. to the lower left, and because the idler pully interfered with the vacuum pump they move it to the top left. You'll also notice thy use an APD fuel pump with a bracket that mounts the crank trigger and fuel pump on the same bracket on the lower right.

anybody ever seen one of these blowers on a 632? I've been talking to my engine builder about putting one on, he seems to think it would be fine, but I have not seen any on anything larger than a 582. Unfortunately he told me today they are 3-4 months out for one, but I can plan ahead for it

Oakley just finished a 632 with the Sniper X heads that made over 1350hp and 1155 lbs torque.

These big inch deals with a little boost are a great option and seem to be super reliable. They aren't strung out or over taxed. And the limited pressure can be very reliable. Fast and the look has the cool factor. I like.

That was pretty funny.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
