Let the blower spin. It's just freewheeling to get the air the engine demands. It's not pressurized. By blocking the blower, you're restricting the normal aspiration.

[@patrickmansfield3967]

I agree 100%, just let it spin. It’s not going to hurt anything.

[@hainesgarage4751]

Was kinda wondering what possible harm it could even do

[@papajon-1000]

Came to say the same thing

[@saradeanna]

They did mention that it was already getting too much air even with the prybar preventing spinning. If allowing it to spin would give it better airflow, then wouldn't that be worse for idling?

[@lightspeed9098]

The blower will spin safely with airflow. Much better to let it spin and stay clean. Also helps even out fuel distribution. Locking it up like that isn't a great idea - ask me how I know ...... The only way I know of to disconnect a Roots Type blower is via some type of clutch mechanism on the drive - like Mad max used lol. Most folk just disconnect the belt & fit one that doesn't drive the blower.

I run a 6/71 on a 77 c10 and without the belt it'll still rotate the blower from the suction of the engine and it doesn't hurt the blower or build any boost. You guys are fine without locking the blower pulley

[@ryan5426]

Exactly...we do this all the time on blower cars. Not going to hurt a thing to let the vacuum spin that blower going down the road. And like Rocky said...it can't make boost...so nothing to worry about.

I run 12lb of boost on a 454 mark IV and take the belt off to street drive. Been that way for 3 years and no problems

[@chrisbooge2217]

Hey Garrett the blower wants to spin because it is creating a restriction stopping air from going into the motor. Locking the blower in place will only create a bigger restriction let the blower spin it cannot make boost free spinning. Locking the blower will be like running on 3 cylinders if you let it spin there will still be some restriction but closer to running on 6 1/2 cylinders which will be alot better.

[@jamesdow9137]

I believe they are trying to lock it because on pump fuel they don’t have any fuel going through the blower. Not good for the rotors to spin with no fuel lubricating and cooling them.

[@chrisbooge2217]

@@jamesdow9137 the injectors should be above the blower in the hat spraying both pump and met though the blower. I don't think anyone makes a ls roots blower manifold with injector bungs. Atleast i haven't seen one . But no matter locking the blower will at best be the same as blocking off air too 5 cylinders. Its the motor trying as hard as possible to pull air in that's turning the blower.

Was worried about the meth position myself. Too hot, sealed, waiting to burst.. I hope they add some heat shielding. Also why are they trying to lock the blower in place? It shouldn’t hurt anything free spinning. Not like it’s going to make boost without the belt, and it’s internally lubricated.

[@mccoykn]

Just a thought, but an accelerometer (g sensor) is reading the g's along the longitudinal axis of the car which is normally parallel to the ground plane. During a wheelie, the car is inclined relative to the ground so that the sensor can also be effected by gravity since it isn't calibrated at that angle, and thus not give you an accurate representation of longitudinal g's (acceleration down the track).

[@muttenmagroo]

Could be a 6 axis gyro like in your phone. Any deviation from level would be compensated by an algo to read out Gs in any direction.

They’ve got two reason ..one this blower wasn’t designed for street use and the seals wouldn’t last a thousand miles and two , the uncontrolled air volume will make coming up with a usable driving tune damn near impossible.

[@philb5593]

All Cleetus needs to do is give the blower company a quick call and he’ll get the correct answer. Or maybe the company saw the video and will call him.

[@logannewman4532]

Moving large volumes of air through an immobilized positive displacement pump does not seem like a super great idea. What about just underdriving the hell out of the blower for cruising? Swapping pullies shouldn't be terribly hard.

[@brownbrve]

I agree, holding the pump preventing it from spinning is not a great idea. 1: I don’t think it’ll even be drivable. They won’t be able to get enough air through it. 2: that can’t be good for the supercharger. Just let it spin, don’t make it a filter..

[@michaelwynne4346]

They know that, they don't have the right pulleys to use, let's hope they get the right ones shipped to them at the start of the race.

[@kshepthedrummer]

Yeah I don't understand the purpose of locking it. Why not just let it spin? Stopping it is obviously a huge restriction because there's enough torque on that pulley to flex the belt guard. Just let it do it's thing.

[@logannewman4532]

@@kshepthedrummer That's not ideal either. The inertia of the spinning blower will force air when you don't want it. Time to create a bypass with it's own throttle body below the blower and then just cap the hat all the way off.

[@Beary98]

I dropped my belt off my old gtp blower several times... no issues... MUCH smaller blower but they ought to just let it spin no?

Man Steve seems like such a great dude, just always so chill when he explains anything AND came all the way back down to make sure cleeter is good to go for the next send. Love guys who break that “all car guys are assholes” stereotype 🇺🇸

the guys around 45-50+ are the worst they fixed it all, drove it all, owned it and wish they never sold it. But for some reason they can't read a dip stick with out looking for there glasses* talking about my local home market area

Steve for sure seems like a great guy! But also keep in mind he knows he is on video .. that’s gonna be watched by thousands of people. I’m not saying anything bad just another perspective.

We all mess up, and make mistakes. What you do after it happens is what defines the person.

You can tell genius by the way they make the difficult look easy. That’s Tye. The Blazer sounds INSANE ! Zack . . . Well, he does just about anything, and does it well. MAN ! What a great crew you’ve got Cleetus, dedicated, hard working,creative and smart. Oh, and they all know how to have fun at their work. Like the saying goes ; If you find what you love to do, and do it, you’ll never work another day in your life. Or something like that. Congrats to Sam ! I wish you guy all the best at Rocky Mountain Race Week. We all will be watching and rooting for TEAM McFARLAND ! 🤞

Cleet, with all these OEM parts shortages you guys should start making OEM parts at motion. Enough of this made in China crap!

YES!! 100% support this

They don't got time to do that they are swamped beyond words as it is with aftermarket no point honestly they already killing it
