Yea, that sounds right. Took me a second to think of that, lol. Blowers are great, and have their place, but if i were to do anything, it would be a turbo. But for me, I dont make the kinda money to have a toy vehicle, and mines a daily driver, so Ill stay naturally aspirated.

They both have the potential to damage parts. Leave to Torque management intact and run low boost.....5-6 lbs.

"with great power comes great responsibility".......don't floor it off the line or with a heavy load.

The blower would not directly destroy the other parts. The use of the blower or turbo without the proper upgrading of other parts and driving abusivley would though

Throw the belt off the blower and you will directly damage something under the hood.
It may not fall off but it may break.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't be able to stay out of the throttle with either one on my engine.

Adam Sandler had a skit on SNL singing about his favorite red sweatshirt. Your reference to "At a Medium Pace" led me to believe you were a demented Sandler nut like me. He has a video on his website to a song called "Secret".
It was completely off topic.
