This blower is installed already, photos to come soon of the engine compartment!

I think I would take my hood off if my supercharger looked like that. I wish I had the time and patience to do that. Great Job

Looks KILLER!

Im curious.....

Howd the mrs feel about you doing it on the dineing room table?

I totally sympathize about the Arthritis...

I have Rhuematoid Arthritis... Unfortunately, It doesnt allow me to do things like that anymore.

I miss not being able to do things that use to give me such personal satisfaction!

With it lookn that good.. I too would remove the hood and show it off.
