[Shotimes] Fw: Roots blower on SHO!!

[Ron Porter]

Well, it's the first effort, plus he did it very inexpensively (he does a
lot of his own fab work). He admits it's rough, but it's a GREAT first
effort.

FWIW, I have been suggesting that this is what both the V6 and V8 SHOs need
for a long time (a roots-type blower). Ryan Dudek and I have semi-seriously
looked into it for his '98 a few years back. Centrifugal blowers are just
not the plan for small motors in heavy cars, especially with an ATX.

Once he gets it sorted out, a better-looking setup seems to be in his plan.

The whole story is on the SHO Forum:
