    Blown F-Body?

    Has anybody put or heard of someone putting one of those huge roots blowers on an F-body (more specific an 80s iroc? lol) because i am interested in doing this, i just think it would be awesome to have one. I mean i know the cost is high (roughly 2700.00 for the assembly) but is it worth it as well.

    I'm sure there are at least a couple of people over at www.thirdgen.org with some Roots blowers on their 3rd gens. One guy comes to my mind, I think his name is Flrtin1, or something like that, I'll have to check. I've seen pictures of his car, and it looks similar to the red Camaro you posted in one of your other threads.

      I can think of like 10 Ive seen right off the bat. I once saw a Big-Block in the front of a 4th gen, the motor was so big the carb had to be mounted sidways and was half way in to the plastic cowl. The thing was nuts

          This is not a true roots style supercharger. It does not use a mirrored twin screw type of system it uses a 3 blade mated to a 5 blade. It is a better design but lower profile. They also pull air from the back not the top. Hard to intercool too.
