So who makes the lightest roots type blower?
That's an interesting question.
Are you asking about physical weight or rotating weight.
Interested in the physical weights.
Maybe one with the TBS billet case????? I think you would have to collect the lightest parts available for the thing if you are really concerned about the weight.
Mooneyham 8-71 with pulley, standard deck Mooneyham intake, Hilborn 4 hole hat injector = 110 lbs.
Thank you sir.....did you pull that billet unit off yet?Quote:

It's at the shop so I can't weigh that combo.Quote:

Hypothetical representation
What is the software and what is it representing?
What size blower, 8-71? I'll call a friend of mine that will have a few lying around, I'll see if he'll weigh them if that helps you.
Any and all, would be nice to have list developed....just need to know who makes the lightest ones.
