Was walking thru one of my parts sheds,and triped over the spare blower and turbo from my fuel truck.One question sprung to mind.
Has anyone ever put a 671 or similar blower on a 6.2,or 6.5? Or seen one?
Just curious

One point to ponder is that the blower will need some of the valuable 33% or so of the engine crankshaft HP to make more power and then still throw 33% of that extra power out of the tailpipe.
Now a turbo/blower combo would be a sweet proposition, turbo to salvage some of the 33% energy wasted in the exhaust and make the supercharger more efficient.

Check the Hummer sites. A couple of them have installed Whipple or similar Superchargers on their 6.5's. Gives good low end added torque. Does take away from engine power to provide the additional air. The turbo is essentially free power, using exhaut to turn the turbine. The Supercharger takes engine power (just like the fan) to turn the turbine.
