Hello, Was wondering which motor would make more Tq... A 509 cu in with
8 Lbs of boost or a 598 with 6 Lbs??? This is with a 8:71 with carbs. Blower
cam, etc... If more info is required, please ask.... Thanks, Bill

I'm going to venture a guess and say the 598. What do you planning to do with 600 CID of blown big block?

I am less familiar with the roots blowers, I know they make instant boost and provide a lot more power down low but I would still say that almost a 100 cubic inches is going to give you more torque than 2 psi worth of boost.

Too many variables.
Ask someone with some dyno software to model it for you.

My vote is the 598 by 50 ft-lb.

Thanks for all the replys everyone! ;).... Yeah really, I don't need a blown 598, just my obsessive personality getting in the way of reality.... I've decided what to build, I'm going to post on it & see what everyone thinks..... Bill
