Lol just throw a jet engine in there uber.

If you get a f 1 u will be the first one here on mf with a f 1 right?

F 1s are pretty nasty blowers, you will have no problems at all getting your power out of them. But how is the step up ratio of the f1 r? Your car would still be on the road right and not just a track car right?

Actually overkill on a blower or turbos can substantially hurt power. A properly matched setup can go a long ways.

And Über there is a big difference between an F1A and F1R. You will be happy with an F1A or D1. Can't wait for you to finish your build!

yeah you always do your research and know your **** so I'm sure you'll be fine. But like said there sure is such a thing as not being in the efficiency range of a blower and sustantially having the lack of power from it. Good luck with it all

Only 6 rib for now, well see if it slips thursday, no wasting money on an 8 rib when im gonna be running a cog setup soon. I was just gonna get f150 pulleys from the junkyard but i ran out of time, way cheaper that payingfor a gi joe kit.
