roots style blowers on a 4.6 SOHC vs. heads/cam/intak mani. - 12-04-03, 12:12 AM

Researching for a friend:

We are not lookin for gobbs of power, but somwhere around 330-350rwhp/tq and deffinitly still a daily driver.

4.6 SOHC car has boltons, either looking to put on a used or new roots or centrifugal style blower for some kick. Any known problems/difficulties anyone has run into with this setup? Particular brands to aviod?

I thought it best to do Heads/cam/intake mani. as far as price and i thought it safer, but i have heard results on heads/cam cars in a 4.6 are not very good.....what is yalls advice?

We would be doin the work ourselves so cost of labor is irrelivant. All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What year is the car?
For those #'s you're going to need forced induction.

h/c/i for the 4.6 sohc is not quite there yet. the aftermarket isnt cost effective yet

get a KENNE BELL or Vortec

330 rwhp is gonna be tough unless the heads are ported or you are using SVO or PI heads.

Roots type blowers for 4.6 are offered by Ford(SVO/FRPP), Allen Engine Development(AED), Saleen(they have since switched to screw-type), and Roush(I think they have gone screw as well).
