wonder if a roots style blower essentially turned into a centrifugal still performs as well as it should? i would think it would loose some boost compressing the air thru all that tubing instead of straight into the manifold?

I wondered about all the tubing also especially after seeing the 90 degree elbow going towards the cooler.

Its unique, but for the amount of money they probably have in it, they could have bout a supercharger/turbocharger for that specific car.

The 90 degree bend is retarded looking, and has to be restrictive.

And the best part, its for sale! Atleast i think thats what he said at the very end?

I looked at some of this guys other videos on you tube and the car use to have a turbo in it. Yea.... trying to be unique.

BTW.... he also had some video footage of an Nissan Altima kicking some butt!:bigthumbsup That's my DD (don't under estimate those cars. lol)

All he has to drive is that turbo coupe. I'd line up against that anyday long as he don't have the boost dialed waay up.

I don't have a fast race car anyway....maybe after 5 more months... The altima will be paid in full and the ZEX going in the Stang! So we both will have a lil sumtin sumtin for next year. Bring it on JR!!!!!!

see what you started!!

You just couldn't keep your mouth shut could you Reg?????? I have to admit that it has been more than a few weeks' since our last $hit talk session......

We have a friend who is also developing the M112 adapter for Foxies as well. We already have access to M112 intakes for our V6's, but I'm not impressed with the figures. I think the most they've gotten out of them was about 400rwhp. A far cry from a turbo system, but it would be fun as a daily driver. He has a special intake that might go on my '02 if he can get it done in time for the NMRA's.....

You guys best be coming to see us.....

I'm working on it Tom. We have flyer miles and when I td the wife what I wanted to use them for she says oh...I thought you would have wanted to use them to go see my brothers in California......she twisted my arm so hard that I'm going first week in August. Now its looking like I may have to drive there. So I still say don't count me out.

We still have to get the old man to come up from Florida. Here are some reasons to come up:

1. Fast cars with fellow drag racers.
2. Free Pizza and Beer Friday night sponsored by Nitto Tire. Eventhough we had filet mignon on the grill and went over for the free beer.
3. My cooking. This is the best part along with Melissa's potato salad.
4. Getting Tom Jr drunk and convincing him to rollerblade around the park, twice. He couldn't feel his legs when he got back. Then we convinced him that he couldn't back his car up with them on. :laugh:
5. Henry and Melissa, from Norway, already have their plane tickets, and they live farther away than you guys.
6. Henry loves everyone when he's drunk. We played nerf football at midnight last year. I passed out, and he felt the need to walk to every camp to say "hi."
7. 4 person golf carts to rent so we never walk anywhere or wait in line to get in.
8. We like to drink.

There are probably several other reasons, but I can't remember them right now. I think Jr could help......

The "old man" is recyling beer cans to pay for the plane ticket......
Man......that sure is a lot of beer that has to be drunken between now and October. Can you handle it!

No wonder why you tried stirring up some shitzu then disappeared for a couple hours.......you were working on that recycling program weren't you?

Yes it is a lot of beer......

But sometimes in life we must make sacrifices to achieve the main objective.......(burppppppp).........:chug_a_lug:
