It looks like a ricer setup with the yellow blowers. I dunno it just looks weird to me. I bet those blowers soak up some heat from the manifolds/headers too.

I hope it makes good power.

I would have gone twin turbos, but that thing probably rips to 12psi in an eigth of a second (literally)

Ya instead of yellow powdercoat, I would have polished the compressors

Oh ya and take that plate off so you can see how it works. Anyone who knows what is going on probably likes to see the mechanical stuff.

I would love to see how that thing is piped........because with that cover on and with what you can see on the intake tract,it looks like its for show to me. Don't see how the blower can be pulling air from the side of a regular LS1/LS6 style intake or where the boosted air is being can be going back in. Since you can see a filter on the end on the MAF sensor in the front and see that it runs right into the intake and not the blowers.........so I would call major BS on this one .

^^ Ditto. I don't see how the blowers are plumbed through the MAF and throttle body, and they'd HAVE to be plumbed through the MAF and throttle body.

I did see an '81 Malibu with an old 3rd gen L98 5.7L TPI motor in it using a pair of blowers off the old Superchargered Thunderbirds. (Got the motor and both SCs out of the same salvage yard) He was running 6 psi of boost no problem, didn't want to push any higher than that though, probably could have gone twice that easily. That car was torquey as hell already though.
