Insane Idea.... your thoughts? while perusing for parts for my build, i had a wild idea about using an weiand 6-71 on a LQ4. Other than having to have a lower intake machined, which shouldnt be too expensive since the LS series heads dont need a coolant crossover like the old small block chevy's, can anyone tell me why this might or might not work?

No doubt it would get all the "cool" points available. The visuals would be spectacular. It would end there for me. A TVS would be easier, cheaper, and more powerful. No intercooler option on the jimmy. Plus, you'd have to fab up a carb or two.....then there's that need for spark. I don't miss carbs at all

You couldnt pay me to have one of those grenades strapped to the top of my engine. After seeing a few of them blow and send parts over the grandstands and through the pits almost hitting the car ahead of me with a chunk of intake manifold....im not to keen on the idea of running the fuel through the compressor.
