Geary L. Sarno Saw your car at SAAC 37. Alot of work done to get that car running well. I know you wanted to keep orginial as possible. I have had too much heat under the hood, because I also have run a Paxton but a Novi 2000 . ERA built me a Paxton hood also, but found at 120 mph the lift on the car is not good. It's more for show than function. Nice thing about the old paxtons are ball bearing drive inside case and not gear drive and self contained. Down side is slipping under boost and the blower surging you are talking about. A small hose from bonnet to bonnet will stop alot of this. I know it's not OEM but will work to balance out the system At a show swap back to orginial look.
The other thing was getting cooler air to the blowers and the screens on the back of the inlets. There is very limited space and was trying a 90 degree inlet but was choking off air into the impellor of the blower. Nice car again. Rick L. There are tools out there for removing wing nuts on wheels without hammers now. Still have to wire tie spinners or install clips to retain spinners on wheels.
