 Just bought what I think is an 8/71 mooneyham blower kinda cool, never built a blown motor but I'm excited.

I took me awhile to understand how to tune with the blower, but now I love it, would never go back.

So you have a new bigger drug? Not good. Seriously you will love it. Pretty simple. Best advice I can give is get a flowed fuel system.Cheaper than parts and most fuel guys will help you anytime.

Had a whipple,the better screw,except can't get recertified. They are bada$$. 400 hp less drag on motor,cooler air and will fly even if tuneup is screwed up. Easy to run and never need restriping. You heard of best thing since sliced bread,who needs bread?

A 14-71 hi helix takes long pullbar to turn.A screw turns by hand and you hear the air.

You will not see around or over it. So aim good at starting line.LOL

Yep and only PSI can do them.
BTW 18K for new new one. then you can get DPE to modify it for TAFC or ProMod.
