    x2. You'd want to go with a roots type blower for instant power. Centrifugal Blowers can put out higher HP & TQ numbers, but you wont get the power until around 3000 RPM & up. Kenne Bell and Whipple are two good brands. The KB will have higher blower whine which is cooler IMO. Once installed, it's all in the tune. You need a very qualified shop that will both install & tune it on a dyno for you. The shop must get the air & fuel ratio set correctly which only a qualified tuner can do. Once tuned, I'd recommend you have it re-tuned on a dyno at least once a year as the tune they put in can fall out of specification and possibly grenade the engine if not maintained.
