hmmm..........1970 GTO: Twin Blown Beast
don't know what say about this............
"These two Stage 2 BDS blowers are capable of flowing 435 (8-71) and 411 (6-71) ci of air per revolution each when run 1:1 with the crank. The NOS can add a 300hp shot, but to use it all at the same time requires a large bucket to pickup the scattered crank and connecting-rod shrapnel.

wonder what psi that is, and what rwhp is
|
"IF" thats a real GTO...what a fucking waste....
|
The twin blowers like that (IMHO) are just for looks. The parasitic loss from running that configuration would be ungodly. There was a 60something chevy truck at a show with almost the same engine, the owner said it was just for the wow factor. The car is beautiful tho.
|
A lot of extra money wasted but wouldn't mind putzing around in that thing.
|
meh
|
I was thinkin the same thing about the losses from the blowers. performance wise, the way they're stacked two high like that also creates a problem in terms of power cause they completely fuck up the aerodynamics of the car, and just serve as a brake.
|
The car is beautiful, but the blowers are fugly. Single blower wouldn't be horribly atrocious, a small one with a ram-air hood would be even better.
|
its pro-street, ridiculously expensive, ridiculous looking, and almost completely incapable of being fast
|
that is RIDICULOUS!
|
meh. I like the idea of a well-built big-block with an 8-71, but that setup is ridiculous. If it's a real GTO, someone needs a good slapping.
|
Blah... looks like shit
|
Well, that's one way to spend a lot of money... but what does it pull in the quarter?

It would be a fitting conclusion for such an abomination. That same car with a single, slightly underdriven 6-71 blown mouse would be ten times hipper, and a thousand times more usable as a fucking car. |
Does nothing for me. I like old muscle but this car is just ruined. Looks like a bad hot wheels car.
But a good looking car (IMO) from Hot Wheels is the life size, operational, Twin Mill. |

Some shots I have from my trip to LA a couple years ago. Think I will find them and start a thread about it. |

I don't mind a little modernization or customization of classic muscle, but don't fuck it up like that. |
