I basically brought the Jackson Racing blower to it's peak performance back in the day. Full port and polish, air:water intercooler on a Franken-VTEC engine. I played with water injection, and did so many datalog pulls that I cringe when I see an emulator now
You're right about the low-mid end torque. My cars always revved high and made good power, but it was the low-mid rpm that was limited by a lack of displacement. The roots blower made up for that.
I was pushing around 270whp with my B18b/VTEC/M62 combo and that was amazing back in the day. The car was fast enough for mid-13's on street tires and full stereo and interior. It would have been a 12 second car on drag radials with a little weight loss. I know every fuer dai with a Bugatti runs 9's now, but back in the late 90's/early 2000's if you ran a 14.1 second quarter mile, you were a boss
To me the best part was the sound. A roots blower makes such a symphony when it revs, and the sound when VTEC kicked in was glorious.
Not my video, because my cars predated youtube
