That was fun! Wife is sleeping by the computer so I had to read it I am going to watch with sound tomorrow when she is up, but my favourite part? Nothing but praise for a poorly treated H-Body! We all win there! Harry

They should have removed the hatch and put the motor in the trunk! This was some crazy s :censored: How small of a motor would it take to power the blower?

Ok, just spent a 1/2 hour watching the episode, I really don't know what to say LOL.
Interesting the car still has the 4 lug setup and 7.5" and seems to take a lot of abuse.

Brian I would think at that small boost level we would be at ~20HP on the low side and maybe 50HP on the high side a lot depends on the blowers curve [efficiency @ what pressure and speed] but that is a very apt observation that engine is so overkill for that output with a load of unnecessary weight and drag lots left on the table there.
