Default Still can't decided on what blower to use.

I locked my motor up earlier this fall. I've been taking my time building it, and now after a month. I have the shortblock built, and the heads are on there way up to Michigan. That is where the car is. I have 90% percent of the parts already. The only that I haven't purchased yet is the blower. I can't decide, it's between a Kenne Bell 2.1, Whipple 2.3 or a Pro Charger F-1A. I'm leaning towards the Pro Charger, I've always liked centri blowers. What do you guys think?

Stage 3 porting, they're hogging them out as far as the cams. They're matched to my heads. Yes, it's getting a set of custom MPH cams.

I wouldn't touch the heads if you're gonna put some serious boost to it.

You didn't mention which heads, but stock B-heads and a turbo can support 800+ rwhp, usually with the stock cams.

The latter heads don't have the volume of the B heads, but are still very efficient when forcing air through them.

IMO

Not sure why you say not port them, I'd rather have CFM more than PSI if that makes any sense. You can pick up power with less boost pressures.
Its like 20 psi through a fire hose will give you more than 100 psi through a garden hose
