Bah, its one of those impractical, not as impressive at it looks builds.

its a LS7. with a lack of a proper rad, fans, filters and who knows what else.

I mean, shows a vid on the rollers lacking the most important information. usually that tells you something.

sick and stupid at the same time.
Lot of work into it though, but for a weak ~660rwhp... not impressive is it. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for.

kinda like this:

Maybe it's got a relocated radiator in the truck, with speed holes in it for moving air in and out.

Like a Baja truck, but semi enclosed.

^^^ Hahahahaha, love it.

That is SICK looking, "Sweet Baby Jesus" is right! But only 800 HP for twin superchargers? Seems like wasted money to me and what about the rear end??

Seems like "Dealer-installed GM performance shocks, a BMR anti-wheelhop kit, strut tower brace, and pinion support brace are used to firm up the suspension." is weak sauce for insurance on a 800 HP beast.

Still I wouldn't kick her out of bed in the morning.

If thats all its got on the rearend, it obviously doesnt get driven. Probably a carshow type deal (just as that camao ) with occasional roll runs and s-turns.

With 2 blowers on a 427 id expect 1,000+ rwhp. Still a unique setup.

I suppose it could be legit if the SCs added power in different places in the RPM band, so that together the add massive power under the curve. Still, yeah, probably not. Probably actually lame.

anyone else notice the 78mm TB? why would anyone spend the crazy time and money on a setup like this and restrict it with a small TB/manifold.. and no intercoolers either. ill bet thats where they are losing the power

^^ Wow two very critical items you would think someone of any salt would be the first items on the build list! Spend $12k on superchargers then skimp on a $300 throttle body!?

The throttle body isn't the restriction that it seems to be on an FI motor. Even with a Maggie, the 90mm throttle body is only worth 5whp or less over the 78mm. If there is boost sitting in the manifold, behind the intake valve, the throttle body is not the restriction. Looks can be deceiving.
