[Shotimes] Fw: Roots blower on SHO!!

[Carl Prochilo]

I just scanned all 7 pages of that thread.  It is fantastic to see a
college kid be able to put 2 and 2 together for this mod.  I'd like to see
his solution for a hood, and then to hear about how well it drives and
performs.  Not knowing much about soopa chargers, I do know enough that he
really needs a bypass valve to insure all that work doesn't go by the
wayside.
