Default RE: leaf blower

yea guys, its an electric leaf blower, i run it with an auxillar power cable, it weighs about 250 pounds, its all metal and its about the size of a giant pumpkin. and as for the slow times i have 12 optima marine batteries in my hatch to keep it going at all times, cuz the stock battery doesnt have enough power to run it, also i have 3 alternators, all under the hood, the belt is custom made so that it is long enough to run them all. but also i just blew the motor so im gonna build a 396 stroker for my twin leaf blower set up that im gonna put on this fall. it will rock the streets of wisconsin.



more info available upon request

Use nitrous and turbocharge the leafblower, throw the LT1 out and replace itwith a Honda lawn mower engine. Attach the leaf blower hose to Honda intake and you will have a 9 second car. If you need more power, superturbocharge the leaf blower, a la P51 fighter plane,and feed it 90% nitromethane, 8% methanol, 2% acetone. This should get the car in the 7 second range.

Why not just get a supercharger?

LMAO that is some of the lamest sH*T ive ever herd of,

so let me get this straight you spend $1200 on battery's

and another how ever much $ for the fake 3 alternator setup, wich is obviously a lie

all for 13's at the track, not that i take you seriously...but[sm=icon_beat.gif]

oh, and when my nuclear powered submarine motor finally gets put in my grand prix ill let you take a spin, but the torque might throw off the earth's rotation, so im experimenting with my gravitational drive.
