The Blower Shop Supercharger Installation Kit
The Blower Shop Supercharger Installation Kits
A supercharger is only as good as the hardware that connects it to the engine. Mounting a Roots-style blower means matching a manifold, drive system, carburetor adapter, belts, pulleys and gaskets, all of which must line up precisely. The Blower Shop supercharger installation kits are built around that challenge. Since 1984, the company has developed blower hardware to work as a coordinated system rather than a loose collection of parts.
Racing Roots, Street-Ready Hardware
The Blower Shop began with the 1984 acquisition of Bowers Blowers. It originally served the top fuel, alcohol dragster and drag boat markets with race-ready superchargers. That experience shaped its approach to street and marine installations. Its builds are known for CNC-machined billet aluminum cases, billet front covers and rear bearing plates, and the company states that its products are made in the USA. For builders, a kit engineered by a manufacturer with that background tends to mean fewer fitment surprises and drive components rated for real boost.
What a Typical Kit Includes
The company's complete supercharger packages are usually specified by blower size, engine family and intended use. Popular configurations include low-profile 192 small block and 250 big block kits, as well as traditional 71-series blowers. Depending on the package, a kit typically brings together:
- A supercharger with billet bearing plates and front cover
- A polished blower intake manifold and aluminum blower studs
- A billet snout with a heat-treated 4340 main shaft and coupler
- Billet drive pulleys, an idler pulley with bracket, and a blower belt
- An accessory drive pulley set for the application
- A billet carburetor adapter for single or dual 4150-style or 4500-style carburetors
- Matching gaskets and hardware
Street packages are offered in several drive formats, including 8mm belt and multi-rib serpentine setups, with options for different water pump and accessory drive configurations. Marine kits are available as well, in 3V and jet boat variations.
Choosing the Right Kit
Before buying, confirm your engine family (small block or big block), deck height, and whether you need a standard or tall manifold for hood clearance. Also consider your accessory drive. The right belt format and pulley arrangement depends on your water pump, alternator and power steering setup. Carburetor choice matters too, since adapters are made for specific single or dual carburetor layouts. Carburetors, linkages and air filters are often sold separately, so plan for them in the build.
Installation is straightforward for experienced builders, and the manufacturer publishes detailed instructions for its 71-series blowers. These cover manifold prep, filling the front cover with gear oil, and torque guidance so the supercharger case is not distorted by over-tightening. Following those steps is key to long blower life.
