[QUOTE="Twinturbo Ranger, post: 903258, member: 411"] Take a centrifugal blower and spin it by hand. It will spin alot easier than a Roots are Whipple style blower hence less energy will be needed to spin it. Now as far as the 2.3 and the 3.3 requiring less power than a factory Eaton I can believe that easy. Number one you are slowing it down considerably and it compresses air more efficiently. I think it is obvious that the 3.3L will make more power, but it will come at a cost or it would be marketed in the beginning instead of a 2.3. I know the topic has swayed to a centrifugal debate, but there is no comparison really. I centrifugal is basically half a turbo ,which is the most efficient period, it uses a turbine wheel on one side with a set of gears and pulley on the other connected to the crank to build rpm's and hence boost. It will never recreate the torque of a turbo or whipple/eaton style blower, but it is efficient. Plus you have to look at whats proven in racing and not necessarily try and recreate the wheel. Kenne Bells and Whipples are seldom used while centrifugals and turbos are top dog. I would like to see someone try a bigger 3.3 and see what kind of power it makes as I never like to discourage anyone, but don't do it blindy with the bigger is always better theory. Just a opinion......... [/QUOTE]
