Now it's finally happening, Charger blower build has been ongoing for a while  Many many years I was planning this, now it comes reality 

Last year I supercharged that my Bandit Trans Am, it came out so fast, that Charger really needed some more power to keep up with it  So, GMC 6-71 blower should help with that 

Here is picture taken few days ago when I got blower carbs, soon I will get blower intake so I can start bolting that 6-71 on it's place 

Here is also one picture of that Bandit that I supercharged, all mechanical, I wanted it to be just like it could have been on year 1978 if factory would have had Supercharger option 

If you are interested, you can follow this build and also our other builds that we are building with my friend on this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CoyoteRoadrunnerGarage

Very cool stuff !  

Do you cut a 2nd Keyway in the Crank snout for your Blowers ?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I have new 2V billet pulleys to replace old ones and then this tooth gear pulley for blower, all can be just bolted together...

Oh now I think I know what you mean, do you believe that original keyway on damper isn't strong enough? I haven't even thought about it. I have supercharged many cars, always that one stock keyway on damper has been enough. But this is first blower I'm installing, I guess this makes more stress to that damper / one keyway than those centrifugal superchargers.

But this is mild boost engine, it's max 7-8psi what I will use and even that might be challenging for stock Magnum engine. At the beginning I will use only 4-5psi boost, I ordered several different ratios for blower that I can adjust boost.

Blower 1st test fitment, doesn't look bad at all

I love it.  Looks fantastic!
Years back Id do mods every winter.  One winter it was OD, AC or a blower, lol?  I went OD.  But the following winter I was working with The Blower Shop in PDX for a 671 or 871,iirc.

Someday I'll own a bug catcher, lol.

May I ask what your compression ratio is pre blower?

Boost is somewhere 6-7psi now and engine is stock 440cid Magnum, so engine CR is around 9.5.

Thats what my stroker H is too so they said I didn't have to do any bottom work?  They said my motor was perfect (but of course, lol)

I will get a b catcher someday, mark my words, lol.



I love it.  She rocks!
