There should be lots of concerned. the preparation for a blown engine is
different than a N/A engine.
You are not concerned very much with volumetric efficiency because of the
blower, but at the same time you have increased the charge by a good high
percentage and that requires a alternate compression, camshaft and ignition.
OR as the man says, STOCK. Judson was not a very good blower though, sliding
vanes and noisy as hell. I did a bunch of work back about 1959-60 on the TR-3
with that thing. I also had one for a short while on an MG special I built in
about 1955. Faster without it. (they were really new then)

Amici:
In the 1980s I put a Judson blower on a gorgeous street TR3A and proceeded
proudly to the North American Triumph Challenge in Illinois. I should have
painted it GOLD and put it on a trophy shelf instead, because I broke the
crank
reving the engine in line for the autocross. I was not reving that hard,
either. Judson used to put a caveat in their instructions warning you to
only use
it on a 'stock' engine. Are there no concerns about putting a blower on a
GT6
engine, and especially a prepared engine? Has someone proved that works?

PS...at that early NATC they did award the car a 'hard luck' trophy...a nice
pewter cup. I still use it for coffee now and again. I think Charles
Runyan
(TRF) provided them. They were nice.
