the owner said it was mostly a show car, although he does drive it on the street...........he estimated about 1100hp.
and yeah, i cant imagine trying to tune that beast!

1100hp? hes got 2 rather large turbos pushing though what looks like an 8-71 blower all sitting on top of a BBC.
that thing would 1100 running on 7 cylinders.
I would hope it makes more than that. there are NA BBC running around that make 1000 on pump gas.
i truly don't understand the point of the roots blower in this case, other than just looks. all it is going to do is lower efficency of the turbos. but hey, it wasn't my $70,000

That's a really amazing car - but a little overdone. Like I'd love to see what hood you even try to put on that.

I remember LPE doing a twin roots setup...I think it was twin Wieands. I also remember the intake for it selling on EBay several years ago for like $4K.

someone might remember there was a guy a year or two ago that built a wicked black stingray vette with two screw-type blowers on top, both mounted at an angle feeding into the intake manifold.....the buildup website was linked on a lot of car forums.....if i remember right, it made something like 1200hp........the car was fully custom built, even had widened rear fenders for 13" wheels......there were some videos floating around of it on the street.

So, would that be considered a blow through setup or a draw through setup? Kinda that glass half empty/half full thing.
Waaaayyyyyyyyyy too much money.
