Linky no worky.

Wonder if it's the one that was for sale on SVTP a while back. Silver? 1090 whp?

Should be fixed now.

That is seriously the stupidest thing I've ever seen. The amount of engineering that went into that vs. output is laughable.

What Did They Have To Engineer Besideds The Intake Manni And Cutting The Fire Wall? I Never Knock Some One Doing Stuff Like That Cause If No One Did. We Would Not Have Any Aftermarket Parts. I Say Keep It Comming!

I wouldn't be ashamed to drive something like that around. Only thing that would suck would be putting gas back in it and replacing the tires every month.

Month???? Id Keep A Spare Set In The Bed!!

there is probably a fair amount of engineering because of the twin mass air and throttle bodies but i agree.. kinda a waste. there is no real benifit except maby the sound. the extra supercharger dont make more boost than one charger but does however produce more engine drag.. i does look cool though

blaze00 · 03-11-2009, 02:46 AM

same boost but more cfm

jivepepper · 03-11-2009, 03:36 AM

Yeah I seen that before. A little silly but entertaining

lol no doubt

I think its pretty cool, I mean even if it is a waste. Maybe the guy just wants something that no one has.

WVUCRUISER · 03-11-2009, 01:04 PM

ugh.... unique for sure!

TORQUERULES · 03-11-2009, 02:28 PM

Multiple supercharging is gay IMHO. If you are going to go with more than on forced induction unit, then use turbos for crying out loud!

Don't get me wrong, that is some cool engineering, but I do not see the point other than to just say "I did this..."

crews · 03-11-2009, 04:47 PM

lots of money and creativity wasted...... numerous TT cobras over 1000 rwhp, for alot less money, with 50 cubes less.......... i may be wrong but didnt those look like 2.3 whipple blowers, painted blue

jivepepper · 03-11-2009, 05:12 PM

I just thought they were some type of roots? I know it put down 594 lol.

i'm saying with them being able to produce something like that, seems like it should have made better numbers

Maybe they didn't want to do what everyone else has done is the point. Doing such has given us some of the best cars and mods out there...being different.

it showed no significant gain for the work and money.....
the Edsel followed the same logic....... we seen how successful it was... .
