xlman. I call BDS this morning and they give me a complete blower kit for the ford 400 for 4176.33 $. I also found Dyer's blowers inc but i didn't call. the web site are Street Strip Roots Supercharger Kits and Blower Repair
and Blower Drive Service: We Deliver Horse Power! - Blower Drive Systems, Blower Kits, Blower Cams, Custom Carb Service
I realy don't know how much hp/torque, blower on 400 engine. They have different stage kit.

mustang81, is that (i'll look later) for the kit minus carb/s? Ya know the supply/demand thing sucks in a way when a roots style for chevy smallblocks are only around $2500. I know ya can pully them differently so to get the right boost psi and figure it to gain the HP your lookin for. Blowers are cool because of the fact they work 100% of the time at a constant rate and your gas milage will increase to boot! Good luck.
