old thread/post by john/ my 401k...but point is still current not knowing what he did since january 04 vs his paxton intent. i had a paxton VR4 on a 351w motor and blew the tops off 3 pistons and the edges off of two more after 3000 miles. blower was great, but moment of truth came when engine did not cooperate under pressure. too much boost, too high compression, wrong pistons. if ya build an engine for a huffer intention then the results should be fine, but not as a direct add on without other internal changes for the blower. i was advised against putting one on, did it anyway. took a chance and lost. but while it was there it was something else. decided to go a safe route after the 351 blew, sold the old engine and put in a 392 ford racing stroker WITHOUT a blower. now i have a blower in the garage as conversation/display art ! LOL...still looks pretty...might put it on my 65 modified mustang convertible, when i am in another foolish mood. darned, i liked that blower... bill.
