Also, driving a large pd blower slower will still make good power, however the boost, and power will be a bit more linear with rpm sort of like a centrifugal, but not as bad. However, if you plan on staying with your stock reciprocating assembly and your happy with 4xx rwhp, the Eaton will serve you fine.

I'm sort of rambling here, but my main point is that your engine will not blow up just because you place a 2.2 or 2.3 Liter twin screw blower on your Mach if youn keep the boost down..
i know on the procharger when running a D1sc on a stock bottom end you have to put like the biggest pulley on there and really not a aggressive tune what so ever, just cuz its made for bigger boost

what i'm sayin about the eaton is your going to have to buy most of the eaton swwap stuff and buyin the eaton s/c isn't that bad so could atleast have it on there till your ready to go big boost,

to each there own, and also what your budget is
