Well i'm not engine mechanic, but is that top blower feeding the bottom blower with compressed air??? If so, seems to be an enifficient design to have one blower presurizing the housing of the blower underneeth it like that. I'd think they would get much better results if they setup a blower for each cylinder bank. Or maybe better yet a single blower and turbo combo

Either way, i'm sure it's faster than my IS350, lol.

This is one of those "mine is bigger than yours" scenarios.
Looks like something you would see in a hot rod cartoon.

Looks like he has invested a lot of money and attention to detail. The paint and interior look very clean. Im sure its a monster but it just doesnt look good

I guarantee this guy is getting clowned if/when he takes this thing to the track. Just ridiculous.

Let alone the fact that he did this to a CLASSIC muscle car.

So much for a cooling option that actually fits the vehicle also.

I agree....this looks ridiculous...street OR track.
Not only was a classic muscle car, but IMO the 1970 was the best-looking stock GTO ever built. A friend of mine, when we were seniors in high school, had a brand-new one. I got to drive it several times.
