    I know there is no way to say for sure, but here goes anyways. I am running a new style whipple on a 557" chevy motor @ 63% over making 48 lbs of boost. I want to drive the blower harder due to warmer weather and the next step is 69.2% over. Any guesses as to how much more boost it will make? This is a 10% increase in blower speed, so would it be safe to assume that the increase in boost would be less than 10% due to efficiency issues. maybe somewhere in the 2-3 lb range?

    I would also like to know about the amount of fuel you run throught the hat versus the port nozzles,percentages? Whipple says to run 70% throught the hat and 30% throught the ports and that is not what I run with the roots combination Thanks
