Default Video of roots blower setup on F-Body

http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...tsblownlt1.flv


Been working on this setup for about 6 months or so, finally got it right tonight. It all fits under the cowl without any hacking and under the stock hood without any hacking. The vid sucks because all I have is a webcam on my laptop, I'll try to get better video this weekend.This is on a stock internal motor at the moment and it needs a tune real bad so I can't really get on it just yet to see what it'll do, hope to get it on a dyno in the next week or so and get it tuned and see if it puts down a half way decent number. Might have to build the motor for it to do any good, we'll see I guess.........

Damn dude you completed it at last, props to you for making it all fit under the stock hood. Let us know what kind of numbers/track times you get.

Should be nice. I'm not a big fan of roots blowers but it's not like you had a ton of choices. Should make for a fun car once it's tuned. Next you should get it ported.

Why? None of the LT1 guys would see it there. I think this section in many ways is it's own board because once you go outside these walls youre in LSX territory.

Why? Because it is forced induction and it would be a nice way to showcase his work. I don't look in the LT1 section for supercharger or turbo threads.

Thanks guys, I'll be glad when I get it tuned and on the dyno, but like I said it's still stock internal so alot of timing might have to be pulled and that's not good for power. And to make you two quit arguing I'll put this exact post in the forced induction section in a lil bit.
