I'm not releasing any specs or anything too detailed for awhile on what I'm doing exactly(All I'll say is: Supercharged,Intercooled), But I just wanted to let it be known that it is in the making and give you all something new to look forward too.;):cool: Damn this is going to be FUN!:D

Sounds like a whole bunch of fun to me. Good luck:D

Supercharged 4.44! Have fun. =] sounds like a OT (Original Tom) SVX. But a differect blower. :cool: May your skills arise the dead and profit more boost and torque... :)

So, how much HP does a checkerd flag in your engine bay add, exactly?

200-300 ballpark. It depends on the application, how it's mounted, etc. Really sophisticated stuff, you probably wouldn't understand :D

That one was from OT. He traded his old one with him.

Correct, Svxfiles made the grill and I traded him for it over a year ago.:)

lol, I wonder what could possibly be under that re-upholstery kit for a BMW E30 M3.

Is a big muscle car style hood scoop part of the plan?

I'll probably custom something up for the hood scoop, But I expect the S/C to drop about 1/2 -1" below where it is now on the manifold I'll be making for it so the scoop won't have to be so tall. I still may mount it on the drivers side though in place of the battery like Svxfiles did his, It just depends.:)

budfreak, I'd look at the new aftermarket roots style kits for the 2005 mustang.... they use a a shaft drive to turn the blower around so the inlet faces front.... Not saying to buy one, but copy the idea.

I'm thinking there is a pile of power to be had if you get a clean intake path into the blower... and it lets you put the blower right back at the firewall where you have more room to the bottom of the hood.

Yeah, A shaft drive was part of the original plan and may still happen depending on where I choose for a final mounting point.;)
