Default leaf blower

yea, so im new here, and i just got done putting a leaf blower on the intake on my car, i cut a hole in the front bumber and made it shoot into the throttle body, i really felt an extra kick in the pantys when i did this, so it got me wondering how much power i gained. well i took it to a chassis dyno and i made 326.3 rwhp and 386.6 rwtq, next thing i did was take it to the track where i pulled off a 13.4 second quarter mile.

coming soon.................. twin leaf blowers

Was it electric with long extension cordor gas powered? At least 400 HP if you also gut the cat. Must be a really heavy leaf blower if the car could only do 13.4 with 326 RWHP.

I bet you beat a Hennessey Viper too didn't you! ughhhh!!!

And Pete, please, it's gotta have waaayyy over 400 HP with the gutted cat, remeber, you can beat a viper with a V6 Camaro and a gutted cat. If he has both he's running at least 600+ rwhp. If he has some stickers for whoever makes his leave blower, so like, a Sears sticker on his window or rear quarter-pannel, that gets him about 5 a piece! ughhh!!

With all that power there must be something holding the car back. It must be a really heavy leaf blower.

guys, come on. you all act like he's lying or something. I did something similar on an old go-cart i had. I took a 400 watt inverter and hotwired it to the alternator on the 5hp briggs and stratton. Then I plugged in an electric leaf blower and stuck it straight out the top of the carburetor. I dont know how much HP it put out though because my gocart dyno wasnt working at the time, and I sold it shortly after. It ran a 10 flat on 89 octane pump gas and a 9 on alcohol...
