From a thermodynamics standpoint. The screw blower is a true air compressor. The roots blower is an air pump. The isentropic efficiency of the screw blower is about 24% higher. Excellent video we appreciate it.

Scotty Cannon was the very first funny car guy I ever seen live. Got to stand in the middle of the track at staging when he left the light. It was a feeling I will never forget. And Cannons cool ass glasses he would wear was bad ass. This was in the Late 90's in Huntsville Alabama and I was around 18 or 19.

I've always heard that you can make more power with mechanical fuel injection over EFI just like you can make more horsepower with a mechanical fuel pump over an electric fuel pump but they do make good brushless electric fuel pumps nowadays that you can make alot of horsepower with like the Aeromotive electric brushless fuel pumps starting with the 5.0gph you can make right at 1000hp with them and get as big as the 20.0gph and I'm sure you can make over 2000hp with it if you have the right injectors and so on

@@keefespencer1173 For a long time mechanical injection was the only way to reliably get enough fuel flow to make as much power as these engines make. Now there’s big enough electronic injectors to make big power without mechanical injection. But, fuel pumps haven’t quite gotten there. Generally you still have to go to a mechanical pump for high power on something like methanol that takes a lot of fuel. The main downside to mechanical injection like this is they don’t work well for driving around. They can be ok for idle, and work great at full throttle. Now a days some people want a 5,000hp drag car that can also drive on the road.

This has to be the very best explanation of blower engines I have ever seen. You explain all 4 types of blowers in an easy to understand way. 28 Years ago I built a 489 in BBC for a costumer and it had a BDS blower on it. It made 20lbs at 6400 and 1444hp on the engine dyno, with cast iron 502 heads and a small flat tappet camshaft. When BDS sent us the set up we had both top and down nozzles. needles to say we had way to much fuel in the engine and ended up running the top nozzles only. A thought about the fuel pump speed, I just wonder if a guy could not build a miniature CVT style transmission to work with the fuel pump? AWESOME video for sure, Thank you

Very good and instructional video You say you could do a long version of this - I suggest you do that - your are one of the few that still run mechanical system and like you say it is ancient, designed By Stu Hilborne and Jim Travers in 1948 - these modern systems like you run is do to the forced competition to manage the power output of the engine and also how to manage the fuel, since the pump output is way more than the engine requires. The way I look at the difference between the 3 superchargers that are used in drag racing ; 1) ROOTS Blower generates more heat and requires more power to turn it because the rotors have to touch - and takes between 4 to 800 horsepower to dive it - I think that a 1471 at 15000 RPM will generate 4400 CFM they generate boost by volume rather than compression. 2) The screw runs free has less volume capacity but takes less than half the power to drive it 3) Centrifugal Supercharger, the most efficient but has specific disadvantages - it builds boost to the square of the RPM so there is les boost at idle and low RPM, the advantage is the requirement of power which is less than half of the screw blower and the volume verses boost pressure is a difficult calculation ---

Never realized the screw blowers spun that much faster than a roots style. I thought the efficiency was just because the screw style provided a smoother “pump” than the big lobes on a roots. Always good when someone gives actual insight instead of just a quick shallow look.

Hell yeah, Scott cannon was my hero back un the day, loved watching him race.
Loved the transparency on this video Jim. Learned a lot! Looking forward to the 2023 NPK season. I think you will really give Ryan a run for his money this season.
Awesome job explaining the differences. Obviously takes someone with a ton of knowledge to make the manual system work right but once it’s working it’s a thing a beauty. Performance speaks for itself. 👍🏼
i learned more about blower cars watching this than 10 weeks of class. thank you sir

Great to hear!
Very cool video sir! I've never really gotten into that level of power. I kinda knew some of those basics, but enjoyed learning about the mechanical injection side. Seems so easy to wound a setup with the proper knowledge. I tune EFI, but couldn't imagine trying that.
Excellent video Jim. I have been around a lot of the NPK guys the last few years and I appreciate you taking the time to put stuff like this out. You are quickly becoming a fan favorite.
Thank you for taking the time to explain in depth of whats going on between different blowers. Very cool!!!
It’s unbelievable how fast Odom and Howe are running. Swansrom , Howe and Odom are the guys to watch this season.

Love the Detroit Dragstrip shirt. I'm a 65 yr old Detroiter, retired steel mill worker and my older brothers use to race there. I'm a big fan of yours and always Robin for ya. God Speed Sir
Really enjoyed this episode Jim. All the very best this season!
Great Educational Video explaining the difference!
with every video i gain more and more respect for you. the way you explain what is going on is simply wonderful to a person who knows hardly anything about blowers. i have always known about them but never fully understood how they work now i do. i also am so happy to know that you kinda go old school not relying solely on computers very few real driver mechanics out there. thanks so much for taking the time and effort to explain and the series you are doing to help other people is wonderful as i have told you in the past Ryan has always been my favorite but i can see a big difference in you and him i think i finally kinda know you even though we never met hopefully i get to go to one of the NPK races soon have had lots of health issues that prevented that but hopefully they are behind me now again thanks for taking the time to explain wish others were like you. really hope to see you in the winners circle a lot this coming year

I also love how humble and real Mr Howe is as well hes definitely grown on me too. Just such a great family man and im like you hes got another fan this year..
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video and I will watch it 10x more times. You are a true drag racing engineer. My complements to you and all your teachers throughout the years. Seriously, you really know what you are talking about and you are not afraid to share it.

Very cool video. Explained very well and really interesting. Thanks Jim👍🏾
Awesome content and extremely informative and very impressed by your knowledge and willingness to share. Good luck with NPK IN 23. You just made a new fan and I’ll be pulling for you this year and excited for new content. Thank you.
This is an awesome video. I have learned a lot by watching it. I really didn't know the difference between a screw blower and a roots blower. I feel like I understand a little better now. Blowers are just bad ass and they are cool as hell sticking out of the hood of a hot rod.
I appreciate the info. Not many people actually go into the fueling of the super chargers. I know I learned something.
LOL,, WOW ! Voting for ya over and Over on the Captains Poll, And always pulling for ya !
Great video. No one ever explains in simple terms what the difference is. And it leaves a lot of people confused.
Thanks for the heads up good luck man you deserve to be on top
Watching you guys come onto the scene is great, keep up the great work, can't wait for NPK6 hope you continue with your success and kick some MAJOR ASS!!! Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
I just learned more in 15 minutes than I have in 20 year's.. Thank you.
Scotty Cannon is a legend he was one of the first promod guys
New subscriber here. I have a street rod 74 Camaro I have been working on for the last year. 468 bbc with a FTec hooker headers and afr heads. A lot more to list but I always love watching what the big guys are doing. Never heard of LDR but can't wait to see some racing. And hear it run. Wow I like to get a small blower for the Camaro to play with. Awsome stuff
#1 I learned you seem like a nice guy, #2 awesome information in a short package, thanks man I’m a subscriber
what an honor to have a little bit of knowledge handed out by a truly experienced man the hours upon hours of trial and error the money spent on the thrill of speed just awesome I once had the opportunity to be on pit Lane with team Cruz Pedregon at the spring nationals in Kirkersville Ohio everybody should experience the pure power once in their lifetime it is truly life-changing
I enjoy you and your race program so much more then odem. Awesome videos thanks for explaining how everything works👍👍👍
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME!!! NO SCREAMING NO RIDICULOUS FAST TALKING JUST PLAIN UNDERSTANDABLE.
This has to be the very best explanation of blower engines I have ever seen. You explain all 4 types of blowers in an easy to understand way. 28 Years ago I built a 489 in BBC for a costumer and it had a BDS blower on it. It made 20lbs at 6400 and 1444hp on the engine dyno, with cast iron 502 heads and a small flat tappet camshaft. When BDS sent us the set up we had both top and down nozzles. needles to say we had way to much fuel in the engine and ended up running the top nozzles only. A thought about the fuel pump speed, I just wonder if a guy could not build a miniature CVT style transmission to work with the fuel pump? AWESOME video for sure, Thank you
Very succinct and easy to understand. Thank you.
You just answered a whole bunch of questions for me sir !! thank you 👍🏻 I really want to learn more about your small tire car 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤠
Hi. Thanks. I am self learning about roots charging, etc until I get to the track and learn.of more experienced people. Thanks for the heads up. Karl fro. Australia
Thank you so much for breaking down the differences between the blowers. Very easy to understand!
That’s for all the info man. Love watching you guys race and the technical aspects of your podcast is awesome. Also from Michigan and love seeing team Detroit content
Thank you for your time brother, God bless you and yours this Resurrection season.

Thank you for the lesson Mr 🙏
Love the tech talk. You quoted the horsepower that the roots blower consumed at full noise, it would be nice to know how much the other blower designs consume for a given amount of power.
Thanks Jim, awesome video, Wish ya well this year, hope to see ya in the big circle
Amazing pretty interesting... Keep them coming great info

After hearing your video really changed the way I perceive you. Good luck this year. And I pray to God nobody gets hurt.
You are going to be the next NPK champ Jim 🏆 good luck
very impressive sir. Always enjoy your video's good luck this season.
Omg Jim, absolutely killer video. I know you’re extremely busy but please for the love of god please do more videos like this. My older brother and I ran a Weiand 6-71 on our 67 Camaro for a while until we went to a Reher Morrison BB lol. But I have to say you are a true old school drag racer because tuning that hot rod in this day and age with out computer controlled fuel injection is an absolute art. You my friend are a true artist. I could watch and listen to you all day. Keep up the great work and go show these kids how a real man does it. Damn this was a great video. Thanks again. 🇺🇸💪🏼
you can tell how he describes things the knowledge he has. hats off to them.
Thanks for all the great info, good luck and stay safe.
Thank you that was some very good information you run excellent program continue success..
Ty, for info. Was clueless before this video👍❤️
Great information Jim! Thanks for sharing, I will be subscribed for future videos.
David Monday does awesome work.
Loved this!!! Learned a ton and I've been a fan for many years. Best of luck going into this season.
Very good and instructional video You say you could do a long version of this - I suggest you do that - your are one of the few that still run mechanical system and like you say it is ancient, designed By Stu Hilborne and Jim Travers in 1948 - these modern systems like you run is do to the forced competition to manage the power output of the engine and also how to manage the fuel, since the pump output is way more than the engine requires. The way I look at the difference between the 3 superchargers that are used in drag racing ; 1) ROOTS Blower generates more heat and requires more power to turn it because the rotors have to touch - and takes between 4 to 800 horsepower to dive it - I think that a 1471 at 15000 RPM will generate 4400 CFM they generate boost by volume rather than compression. 2) The screw runs free has less volume capacity but takes less than half the power to drive it 3) Centrifugal Supercharger, the most efficient but has specific disadvantages - it builds boost to the square of the RPM so there is les boost at idle and low RPM, the advantage is the requirement of power which is less than half of the screw blower and the volume verses boost pressure is a difficult calculation ---
Thankyou for the video. Enjoyed watching and it was very humbling to see you thank and acknowledge the people who passed on their skills to you
That was an excellent video. I just stumbled across it. Have subscribed from Australia 🇦🇺

Welcome aboard!
Thanks for this. I've been into cars & drag racing since the middle 60's & never knew how mechanical injection worked or the benefits of screw blowers. When I first got interested in drag racing, Top Fuel wasn't as fast as your rig. Those things are scary fast.
Wow. Very nice. Very informative. Thanks...
Never realized the screw blowers spun that much faster than a roots style. I thought the efficiency was just because the screw style provided a smoother “pump” than the big lobes on a roots. Always good when someone gives actual insight instead of just a quick shallow look.
I love the tech stuff and explanations.thanks
Cannot wait till Sept/Oct when you guys come back down to Ennis for NPK. Great vid Jim!!
Great info...thanks for sharing
Love the old mechanical injection. I worked for Dale Riggs years ago . We were running blown alcohol hydro and building customer boats as well. Even got to tune on Eddie Hill’s boat before he moved over to dragsters. Great times .
Looking forward to the season to begin. Me personally I prefer the screw blown cars and boats. I enjoyed the pointers and wish you the best at the track
Yes I did thanks for info and meet Scotty at Darlington I worked there have a great season
Good video. I like the technical stuff. Keep it up.
Great video Jim, thanks for sharing that.
What a cool set up I always had a street 671 which is a moped to you guys but it was so cool on a 540 big block much love from ohio
