So what do yall think about this. I found it the other day and forgot to post it up.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230297556449

Based off a Eaton M-90. Was on a 2000 which means the latest injected Vortec motor. But was on a 1995 earlier in its life.

Im not 100% on how it was installed...to the intake only and sticks up high or to the heads.....???

I asked him and will wait for a response

I think it would be very tight.....

Didnt know if you caught how he has it routed but you have to pull the TB off and move it to that side plate on the back of the blower in the second pic....

Wish someone would buy it here to found out how well it works

OK, I got a response.

The S/C has a square flange on the bottom and it indeed does bolt where you removed the throttlebody from.
Then you bolt you old TB unit on the side of it and it now faces front to back.
He had his stock hood cut and a scoop put on. Im thinking something like a harwood scoop maybe?

Yeah, unless there some type of supports, the weight of it is sure to crack the mounting flange of the plastic intake. The hood clearance for me would be an issue unless I could put it under a bolt-on SS hood thats not insanely high. And I assume you have to reconfigure your intake.

Wonder how much boost it makes.

I've said elsewhere this thing is done all wrong, at least compared to how I wan't to do it. But then agan his was running and mine still is not. There is nothing to adress the fuel issues and it is not intercooled.

in the description...

"The dyno place said it will add like 100 horse power"

does that not sound really bad to everyone else?

this blower indeed would be bada$$ but like eveyone is saying it does seem like a hassle

not to get off topic....ahh f-ck it, I started the thread anyways....but why do all the S/C GrandPrix's, Bonnie's and Park Ave's IC at the junkyard lately have an underhood fire?
Its always the SC ones

Hassle? Only to the untrained monkey. Where there is a will there is a way.
very true
