Isnt it a 1.9l tvs blower pretty similiar to the one that comes on the LSA?? Theyre getting 700+ rwhp out of a h/c ZL1 on race gas...

You know what else would help you get that tank out of the hole? A converter. And yes, I am going to annoy you about until you do it.

Lol, the G8 is finally where I want it for now so I plan on turning my attention to the Z28. As far as a converter, we'll see where the modding winds blow once I start on this car again
