underneath said pickups hood...

Nice air stuffer!!

'fuel injection is nice but..... I'd rather be blown"

Need to get one of those for my wifes Expedition.

You could probably sneak it in there without her ever knowing.

My brother has one he is trying to sell me, it came off his Mustang Cobra

$1100 and its all mine.

To make full use of blowers, the build spec of the engine is quite different than normally aspirated.
I have a pair of BBC quad-rotor WhippleChargers down in the shop set up for Merc EFI- I keep them around thinking I may get another boat to use them on some day..... or maybe use one in an S10 project.....

there's a bunch more chit you'll need beside the blower itself... but it's a cheap way with the one off the cobra. they make 8-12 PSI but you can change pulleys, you'll have to pollish the internals too.

Yeah thats one of the reasons I will probably not do it. plus my wife dont need an air stuffer...I do!

amen brutha! bought my wife a Charger and opted for the 3.5L instead of the hemi! she drives fast enough without the added power!!!

how do you like the charger? I never really considered one until looking for a car for my wife in the last few weeks. They've grown on me a bit.

I love it... been thinking of getting myself the SRT/8 and putting a little more power under the hood! the 3.5 is plenty fast for my wife and gets 23-25MPG on the hwy. i'm a huge SOB and i love the fact that i can set the seat all the way back then get in behind that seat and still have leg room! that and the telescoping steering wheel is pretty cool too! Factory tires are chit though!

oh, the lifetime power train warranty is nice too! can't get it on the hemi though, i think??? could be wrong... been known to happen from time to time...

Paul, what kind of mileage get with the air stuffer?

Solves that issue...she bought a Merc. Milan today.

there you go then.... ha ha! at least you had some input.... ha ha...

with everything that's been done to it i generally get 17 HWY, sometimes a bit more and if i get on it a lot it goes down pretty quick... grins But not as bad as one might think, the worst i ever got was 14 and that was pulling a trailer and loaded pretty heavy..

That's pretty good. Even pulling. I got 14 w/ my f150/5.4, average for mixed driving. Pulling a fishing boat or atv trailer stayed the same. Pulling a car it dropped to about 9.5.

something to be said for having power to spare... it really pays off when towing! it's the constant downshifting that kills the mileage...

Not a hot rod, but the closest thing is kart my son and I did a quick restoration on.

Still haven't found a suitable parking lot to run it in. It's geared far lower then I've ever geared a race kart, and will hit 50mph wot. It's setup with direct drive, so nasty vibration and doesn't pull at low rpm, but when it gets on the pipe it pulls like crazy.

Gotta love the sound of a two stroke getting on the pipe and screaming to 17,000 rpm.
