Default Camaro with giant blower

You guys gotta watch this video of this Camaro. About 3 min. in is the still of the biggest supercharger I've ever seen. I've seen the still before, but always thought it was photo shopped. Now I know it's a real blower! Oh, and the wheelstand is great too!

I have seen that video before. I don't know that you could do anything to keep that thing from not blowing gaskets...lol... He never did awnser the question of how much boost that it was suppost to put out.. We will probably never know

I don't think he even knows how much boost it might make since It's not really a supercharger, but rather a giant air blower. Not sure how much HP it would take to turn it, or if you could O ring a head to even keep it from bloing a gasket. Might be better to blow a gasket, cause if you got it to seal it might blow a piston instead!

The size ratio looks a little more appropriate there, LOL. I think he should put a breather like that on his.

Did you watch the interview Joe? I thought it was fake when I was sent a picture of the Camaro several monhts ago, but after seeing the interview and listening to his story I'm pretty sure he did put it on for one startup.

The guy inteviewing him mentioned seeing it on Youtube, and asked if it was a gimmick, or real. He told the interviewer that they had a special intake and belt built for it, and fired it once and it blew the head gaskets out of the motor. He wants to try it again, but not sure how far under driven it needs to not blow the head gaskets out.
