Where do I start...………..
Had the 6 litre L98 stroked to 406ci. Callies crank and rods; CP pistons; a lot of head work by Nathan Higgins, Roller rockers, 102mm FAST inlet manifold; Crow custom grind camshaft; custom 2,800rpm TCE lock up stallie; Toughened 6L80E gearbox with custom deep pan oil sump; Strange 9" diff, wavetrac centre. 1 and 7/8" ceramic costed headers, 3" exhaust. Loved that car.

If you get a decent top mount blower with your new car it will be a heck of a lot more refined to drive than your old car was.

I did like the old orange - and I can't wait to have the blower installed.

I love the whining sound when it spins up - so I guess I'll need to install a gilmer drive. However, do you know if the whine is too loud when cruising on the open road?

[whitels1ss]

I do not think you would fit a Gilmer drive on a FDFI blower.

They use them more on the rear of the older rear driven blower that uses a jack shaft to the rear from a belt driven pulley on the front.

OK thanks - and does the whine cause problems at cruise speeds? - 100km/hr??

[whitels1ss]

It will be fine Dan, you won't even hear it until you get on the throttle a bit.

Sweet as - thanks

Are you talking with a Gilmer belt or not Dan?

Gary if he fits a modern type of FDFI blower he won't be using a Gilmer drive.

Guy with VF SSV and 2300 FDFI blower who repainted my front bar said my blower was much louder than his when he drove it from APS to his shop (about 2km) and to me mine's not loud at all.

Yeah FDFI are quieter than the HTV series blowers.



(Especially if the HTV has a Gilmer upgrade on the back.)

Enhanced make them to suit Harrop FDFI (as well as just about every other blower out there).

I have a gilmer drive on the front of my top mount. Cannot hear it inside the car at freeway speeds, but get up it and the thing howls like a banshee.

These are a top quality bit of kit made by Brad in house. They sound killer as well as eliminating all belt slip.
