Anybody have any experience with the BBC Weiand 174 or 256 supercharger?

I was thinking about running one of these on my BBC 502 crate motor. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with these. I will either be going this route or do a nice set of heads and another cam. Truck will be driven atleast 4 times a week to work and back but nothing crazy.

Like the power but I just don't want anything hanging out of my hood....don't mind them hearing it just don't want it seen. I loved the pro-street look growing up but I'm doing a pro-touring style build.

should do pretty good, have a promod guy down the street from me, had 2 motors built basically the same with a 174 on both, one was for a car he built and one for his towing rig. Both were 496s, made around 750hp on pump gas. I wouldnt complain about that.

Re: Anybody have any experience with the BBC Weiand 174 or 256 supercharger?

Sounds good...I was gonna do another cam and just slap on the 174 or 256 and dial it in. It's just for a fun daily driver. I don't need a procharger to be spinning up crazy rpms up top I like it right off idle. I have a 600hp Turbo Escalade so I know about forced induction. If I was gonna procharge it would be on my 08' Z06 only. Thanks for answering what I asked about ProStreet68SB!

Wow... Guys I know about the procharge systems, kenny belle, vortech, all of the above. Not trying to build a 800 horse beast I was just asking about the oldschool roots style. I know it would be easy to slap a procharger on it. Just want a nice street torque monster it will never see the track or go pass 6000 rpms...

Tom is your truck just a street truck? If so how does it pull and act and what kinda rpms do you normally see with the F1? I maybe very wrong about what I'm am thinking as far as it being a daily driver. I'd like to hear a little input from you since you actually run the set up. Thanks in advance...
