Ok now that we are up to date with the body, lets move on to the motor.
1991 BMW 850I 5.0liter V12 stock hp is about 315 and 332torque, 8.8 to 1 compression so it is just screaming for a supercharger.
The stock 850 weighed in at 4300 pounds. My truck will weigh under 3000 way way under.
The first thig I did was ditch all electronics and convert the motor to run 2 MSD boxes.
I made some lake headers and the intake for the blower.
The motor went from this
To this
and finally this
blower is set up at 20%underdriven for a target of 6 pounds of boost
and now this
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
