I've seen it done on a black trans am , and it looked awesome...

thing is that more of the blower would be hidden under the hood (you would see the top of the pulley, but definitely not the whole thing).

in any case , your visibility is gone so I would only do it on a race car or a show car... I sure as hell wouldn't want to drive on the street with it...

:sillylol: It looks like you have 12,000 too many dollars and no wife or girlfriend to tell you that your car has equal appeal as owl farts. Besides, it's too fast. All your groceries would slide to one side.

Hell yeah vortec...thats what I'm talking about. I would write more, but I'm going to go burn one down.

PS- I wonder if gaseous THC injected into your intake would act similar to nitrous? I could see it now....

13.0@107 (n/a)
12.420@117 (100 hp THC)

Hey bluntman, I don't think the THC would give you any more performance, but, you would certainly have a lot of folks following you around...... LOL

I don't think you guys realize how unstreetable that setup is. Besides, to make it look right you'd have to tub it, tube it, slam it, and gut it. That's not a street car.
