hell i want a 4.0 liter blower for my truck. my last car had a 1.3 liter blower on a 2.0 liter cranking 32 psi. so i really don't see where people get off on saying something is too big. thats like a **** star saying that dick is too big to fit in anything. but bless her heart for trying!

People started actually running the numbers instead of guessing. Back in the 80s people used to put their nitrous bottles on ice to 'go faster'... And now we have bottle heaters.

When people take the time to figure out stuff, suddenly vehicles get faster and more efficient.
