Seen the blower on the new Cobra I think? It takes air from
the back and is very low. Might still require a bump in the
hood, but done right, that could be downright sexy on a V8.
Sure wish I had the disposable income to try something like
that, I bet Kenny Brown would love to relieve someone of a
barrel full of hundred dollar bills to do something like that!
