if you want power down low, you want a kb blower, a whipple or a turbo. a centrifical sc builds boost the slowest (they start to make boost around 3000rpms). KB style sc will be at full boost by 3000 rpms and a turbo (sized correctly) will make full boost by 3500rpms
KB makes full boost at 2000 rpms

depending on the kit it varies, the 14psi kit maxes out at 2500, the smaller kits max out at a lower rpm

Do you really feel like switching over to a carbed set up for just a blower on a 302????

i already have a carb on my 306 and i want a power adder.... blowers are the way i want to go and it will cost wayyyy to much money to switch back over to fuel injected. so that is why im woundering how the wienads perform...
