Maybe Eddie had a case of dyslexia, or I heard him wrong...whatever it is, it's freaking large and in charge...ready for chickies!
Oh, it's a badass setup to say the least. But an 8.3L blower would be about the size of a garbage can
http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/product.asp?ProdID=1162 Link just shows there sizes.. 8.3 being one of them. And you are true about a garbage can, just its the ones next to your computer.
I'm not sure WTF they're using as measurements, but think about this: 8.3L = 506 cu. in. (That's the same size as the Gen. III Viper V-10 engine.) Somethin' funky about that number......
Its all about the air flow inside the runners of the blower. That is an 8.3L blower as CentralTex (Wade) posted pix and a link to the Jeep site about this build months ago.
Okay, so it's AIRFLOW DISPLACEMENT....not physical displacement? That makes a little more sense. The only problem is that your blower displacement would change depending on the RPM the blower is at.
So, as an example: IDLE = 0.8L of airflow/"displacement" 1/2 THROTTLE = 4.0L of airflow/"displacement" WOT = 8.3L of airflow/"displacement" (at 10,000 rpms, which I'm sure most 426's run at. LOL) Hmmmm.... Not really the way I remember learning about superchargers (I used the x-71 formula).
Regardless...this thing is gunna fly...hell, just with the 440 it's a beast...I dunno how they will keep all that power planted, or if they can...interesting to see the results once finished.
yeah kyle, will be interesting to see the finished product!!! i will say, the drama over on lxf is quite humorous!!
I'll be technical... It IS a 8.3L Whipple. The model number is W510R. http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/product.asp?ProdID=1162 And... TOPO's work is a hack job at best, PERIOD.
