Well I heard back from my friend and this probably won't surprise anyone but I was wrong about the make of the engine. It's a Chevy.

I think you will find there are a lot more intake options for an old SBC!

Usually, people don't use a blower like that 6-71 for automotive purposes. That kind of induction is best-suited to when absolute max power is wanted from an engine; safety, longevity, and fuel economy are way down on the priority list.

Well, it's not exactly a daily driver. It's basically a drag racing car, although he does drive it to & from the track.

And while I understand your point, not burning up pistons is fairly high on the priority list... especially as this engine wasn't built from the ground up for forced induction. So IMHO (and again I'll admit I have very little experience with this type of motor) even fuel distribution is very important. And there's no better way to achieve that than port injection!

My 317k mile stock 2.8l v6 was never built for boost or power, but ive been daily driving it for the better part of 6 months running 20psi. I beat the piss out of the car.

Boost wont kill it. Detonation from a bad tune will.
