Most likely Deisel or I will burn #2 have the truck come right to the boat.

Cant do kerosene the hose on the pump at the station is
is only three feet long.

It will hold 450 gallons.
But I never go over 180-190 a side.

You never really said how the PSI's worked. Was it a big jump in power? Was it worth the expense?

They look great! Just one problem, those top pulleys are way to big. I think you need some 42's on top! What %over were you spinning them?

At the same boost level 8 pounds (33 percent over)There really was no difference. However when you bumped it up to 11lbs 46 percent over and we are talking pump gas Hold on.

I beleave it is because the centrifical weight of the Mooney 10-71 is alot lighter then the PSI.
The PSI requires more crankshaft HP to spin.
The PSI will just keep making boost 10lbs, 20lbs, 30lbs 40lbs.
It actually runs cooler the faster it spins.
You could put your hand on the side of it. Try that with a
14-71 BDS.
Take a look at the size of one its freaking huge.

Really in a nut shell if you want to make 1500 plus
horsepower PSI is at the top of the short list.

Most of the top engine builders will agree PSI is
the best blower out there.

If I Build another blower motor I will be topping it off
with a PSI and Fuel injection.

But I have gone to the DARK SIDE and I cant Freakin wait
to start melting Snow
