I thought he had a blower on his truck?How can a fully built, blown engine look like a regular engine?No pics after it was but not really to see, just looks like a regular engine.
I thought it was rebuilt to stock spec?? I didn't know he stuck a blower on it.
He had a Roush blower on it before the rebuild and it was slapped back on after. It was blueprinted and balanced but on the out side the engine looks exactly the same. I got to see it in person and hear it and it sounded amazing. I know the guy tuned it as well and trans was done by a guy who does trophy trucks. basically looks like this

How much horsepower do you normally gain from having a engine blueprinted and balanced? Or is it more for durability.

In a word Yes. It helps the engine run smoother and relieves stress caused by parts not weighing the same. Basically they take the lightest weighing rod and piston combo and match the rest so the rotating mass is equal on the crankshaft. The engine revs smoother and lasts longer and becomes more reliable, and in turn produces more power. Plus Leo got the added advantage of a few more cubic inches just from the rebuild process. The next step was either a bigger blower or a bigger engine. I dont know if the engine was stroked but I'm sure Leo can chime in when he gets back from work.

And that was the first time i got crabs...
less parasitic lower loss, durability, smooth power delivery and higher redline. are a few reasons.
