Does it really matter what engine you bolt a blower to, or will it make big power regardless of the engine’s specs? In this testing video from Richard Holdener you are going to see that put to the test. He’s bolting a B&M Mega Blower to two different big-block Chevrolets to see if a 454 or a 496 likes the blower better, and if there is a big difference when a camshaft or other mods are introduced to the recipe. If you are like us and love the Hunt for Grunt series, then you’ll like video #3 right here. Watch.

Video Description:

BBC BOOST BATTLE-454 VS 496! WHICH ONE MAKES MORE POWER WITH A 420 MEGA BLOWER? DO I NEED A STROKER WITH BOOST? DO I NEED A DEDICATED BLOWER CAM WITH BOOST? DO I NEED LOW COMPRESSION WITH BOOST? IS A STROKER MOTOR BETTER WITH BOOST? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO (#3 IN THE HUNT FOR GRUNT SERIES), WHERE I RAN BOTH A MILD 454 (461) BUILD AND A WILDER (BUT LOW COMPRESSION) 496 BUILD WITH THE SAME HOLLEY 420 MEGA BLOWER. THE COMBOS WERE COMPARED NA, THEN THE 461 WITH A SMALLER 174 BLOWER TO THE NA 496, THEN BOTH MOTORS WITH THE 420 BLOWER RUNNING THE SAME PULLEY (BLOWER SPEED), THEN WITH BOTH COMBOS RUNNING THE SAME BOOST! WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
