nice, I just wanted to make sure I had the theory down on this whole blower thing.
Someday I'll cut a hole in my hood too.

tcody, youer on the right track but i dont think its that open and closed. the thing you need to keep in mind is with a aspriated motor you spend the big bucks on trying to get the piston to pull as much air into the cylinders that it can, with the blower you wont to get the valves open and closed as soon as possible, because when the valve open the blower is going to push the air into the cylinder, so you wont the valve to close as soon as possible and hold it in. on a reg motor from the factory it only fill the cylinder about 80%, so you can bolt a blower on and it will fill the cylinder up to 100% , so just by bolting the blower on you just picked up 20% more power. with the extra power comes the responsibility of extra cooling and more and better gas. before you cut the hood you should do some more reading about these blowers.
