I'm planning to drive a car with a 440, equipped with a paxton blower, on a long hi way journey. (1000 miles) . My question is : would it be OK to remove the blower drive belt for this long road trip ? I'm thinking I don't want the extra miles on the blower bearings, plus it may improve fuel consumption. And I certainly dont need any boost cruising along at 70 MPH. The Holley double pumper carb has 72 main jets in it now. Also may remove the blower hat from the carb, and run an air filter, as opposed to letting it pull air thru the blower and blower filter. Any thoughts / experience on this ? A lot of miles with a blower. Thanks
