whoops...i just checked out a bunch of the guys threads, and I misread a few things and mixed up the one guys turbo setup with another guys supercharger setup.
this is what he has...quoted. and my mistake is that its not staged, but thats how some people were discussing how to do it, so if u do go with a 4 bbl then stage it like i mentioned..sorry bout that. this is what he has running on 10 lbs.
For what it's worth, my wife's '63 TurboFalcon is using an almost stock Holley 2300. The only mods are a removed choke horn, filled choke rod hole, and a solid float. ...
but hes working on and most likely has it installed already, a turbo manifold as well...heres a pic.
and heres a guy with a supercharger..i know i should do a different thread to show it but whatever, hes also running 10-12 lbs with a holley 2300, he states that the 500 CFM is actually 374 cause theyve done some calculations or something to figgure the actual airflow of it...supposedly a carb is hardly ever flowing the amount of air it says it is. this is what he has and says about it:
Now answers to your questions:
1. max boost 10 p.s.i. @ 4200 rpm creaps up to 12 p.s.i. at 5,000 rpm
2. unknown Horse Power at this time, maybe 225 to 250?
3. Yes it has that Supercharger whine.
4. running stock block, cam, pistons, stock lower end!
5. Carb is Holley 2300 2v 500 cfm (really 374 cfm) Blow-thru is easier!
6. A turbo boosting same rate will produce more hp, the Paxton uses about 30-35 hp to spin!
7. Great right now power!!!!!!!!
8. This was not a kit! Custom install using A/C bracket for mounting.
9. Total cost of used Paxton Supercharger and install about $750.00
10. I will be showing it this weekend at the Bakersfield Car Show October
23rd & 24th.
