    what's it cost to have the rotors tefloned? what's the benefits other than more boost? does it help create more boost at lower rpms? help a blower newbie out guys,lol.

    It was less than a couple hundred bucks to have blower shop do mine while they already had it apart to rebuild it.

    This is my understanding. Blowers get hot when making boost. When that happens it closes up the tolerances on the rotors. stripping the rotors allows a tighter tollerance without worring about the rotors scoring. Tighter tollerances allow higher boost at lower rpms. again, this is my understanding. The only expierience I have is from a 144 stripped baby B&M.

    turbo355 does all of his rebuilds and re stripping himself so it is pretty cheap that way if you can do it.

    Al is cool and so is his machinest, Lloyd. They helped me a lot and they also had kits for my Edelbrock carbs that I use on top of my B&M 420 / 496. I was having problems with being too lean and their kit was cool and reasonable $.
    He has a nice website with lots of pictures of blower motors.
