    Hi guys,

    I need your input.
    I broke my Littlefield 1471 HH retro pretty severely.
    I have a line on a Hampton 1471 HH retro.

    Are the Hamptons as good as the Littlefields?

    Will I be able to use my same fuel tune up or will it be way off?

    This is for a hemi for TD.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hampton vs Littlefield

    Hi Second,
    The front bearings seized causing the rotor shafts to break which then made the rotors wobble and put shavings down the engine. It also messed up the end plates really BAD.

    Any ideas on the Hampton vs. the Littlefield setups?
    Does Hampton make a race blower, I looked at their web site but all they seem to list is street blowers?
    I don't know anyone using a Hampton.

    Thanks

    The only way the tuneup can remain the same is if the boost is identical, the output air discharge temperature into the manifoild remains the same, and the fuel/air distribution in the manifold to all the cylinders remains the same. In other words the motor must not know that the supercharger has been changed.

    Blowers

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks Mike. I understand what you are saying.

    I was just curious if the 2 blowers will be close so I don't burn anything up. I will err on the side of caution on the fuel BUT I was curious if anyone has run these 2 blowers and found any significant difference between the 2.

    Thanks again.
