Just curious.

Judging by the "it won't fit under the hood" comments, i'm assuming it is a roots blower. Roots style superchargers are less efficient by design, and won't put out the same kind of horsepower, but down low, watch out. Those things are for torque. They just force a given volume of air through, and the pressure increases in the intake manifold. The pressure doesn't increase in the actual supercharger, as it would in a centrifugal type supercharger. That means that since the pressure on the output side is higher than on the input side, the air is going to try to force itself back out. Hence, lower efficiency, esp. since it doesn't seal. But it's great for torque.

I would have taken more pics of it but I was too busy drooling over the race cars and all the 4V crate motors they had laying around.

The hood issue can always be delt with by using the proper tools.

On the Rice thing: I could care less if my car makes it on a "I hate rice" site. The motor and suspension setup is very trick and that is what matters most to me. The way I see it if you want to throw a fart pipe on your car and some cheap laserjet printed flame gay-jizz go right ahead. I don't hate others for what they think looks cool. I do find it amusing and wonder what the hell are they thinking but then again I have a set of LED's that tell me what gear I'm in and weather or not the TC is locked so who am I to judge others. Christ, I even have side blinky lights!

Now what was this guy thinking! A fake blower and a bumper off a Ford van?

-Scott

Ugly?

Ed, very well said once again.

Scott the setup looks killer.

Why have the alternator on top?
On my SuperMark Ford relocated the alternator where the ac compressor was and the ac to the drivers side and knocked the ps pump above that, which actually looks fairly easy to do.

Plus the alternator actually fits perfectly where the ac used to be, the spread of the holes is a prefect fit for the front two bosses.

Plus does the cog set-up work well? It looks loose in the pic?

You should polish the housing if its staying in that location.

Heres a better shot of all the locations.

It just makes for a clean looking top end imho.

Talk about getting looks Scott, when I blow by someone under boost without my hood they almost crash trying to look!! LMAO!!

Looks great keep up the god work.

I wish it was that easy! The FEAD setup and MN12 K-member would not allow that type of setup. I really like the way it came out and one of the benefits in a Gilmore belt setup is it actually should be a little loose. Thanks for the tip on the polishing of the Alt, The case is customized for fitment so it will have to be swapped over if the insides take a crap. I am still doing other "stuff" that weighs heavier in the priorities dept but I will address that issue in time.

We seem to have a bunch of very fast Impala SS's down here so that's really what I'm going for at the shootout. My car is built for the turns so I think a little too tight for the track but I will try my best.

Ponyfreak, I have to agree the laser jet comment was funny.

Sorry if I started a flame war I was just trying to defend my ricer.

-Scott

This was the first try before I had the thinner style Alt so I think phase II is a keeper...

Hey this won't count against me it the total posts score will it? Are only certain people able to post and look like idiots or can any of us join in? Maybe I should have mentioned racing in Florida instead of NJ? I don't know? I just get tired of seeing some of our vendors drug into flame wars they didn't start, both Dennis and Geno .

Well Kenny Bell is good for insatnt boost, I put one on a 98 Cobra and it spools up imiedatly, but it generates a ton of heat and you can't run a inner cooler with most models, if a Vortech is configured right, it is a awsome setup and with a air to air its even Better.
