Is the footprint of the magnuson the same as other roots blowers? I assumed it would be different...seems to me I found some specs on a unit once before. I am also wondering how wide the housing is because if I recall a regular roots blower on a BDS intake took up a lot of room,,,you could add port nozzles but it was very tight. Maybe there would be more room for the fuel rail with the maggie.
That dual blower is pretty wild!

Main Benefit was the typical Eaton Style Supercharger at the times was a 90 cubic inch per revolution unit. A very long 180 cubic inch unit PROTOTYPE was made and had serious heat issues with that length and package sucked. Jerry M did his deal and the unit could move 180 cid per revolution and twice the power of the stock Eaton unit. So it the 90 cubic inch Eaton was designed for a 3.8L engine to run 6000 rpm then a dual 90 unit could feed a 7.6L engine to 6,000 rpm and he designed them for a small block application (max 400 cid). So he had a sweet set-up that worked well and was very unique in appearance. Tom V. RIP Jerry (He was a good guy to talk to) http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lat...?pid=174337495

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
