Doug is absolutely right. Once you're in the Blown class, you're running
heads-up with the guys running the high-dollar PSI and Kobelco screw-type
blowers. These are more efficient and generate far less heat. You'd never
come close with some street blower.
By the way, the blower division of B&M was bought by Holley.
