Well one Studebaker that did not have them was the HRM Road Test '64 Daytona...I'm going to venture to guess that, discounting the oddball Due Cento setup, none of the Bonneville Studes ran the HO pulleys.
Nelson Posted January 30, 2023 Author Report Posted January 30, 2023 Correct. I guess reliability was paramount and running the blowers too fast was just not worth the risk.

Yes...although Studebaker's aim was to sell cars, Granatelli's mission was to sell cars AND superchargers... A trail of blown up or burnt out blowers would do NOTHING for his supercharger sales!
