Default Old school blower

Tell me if you think I'm nuts.

Anyone run a big roots blower sticking out of a hole in the hood with an air scoop/flaps... old school hot rod style ?

THere is a kit made for LS 1 and 6/71 blower but you would play hell fitting the drive and accessories on a C5
Thwy look and sound cool, but other types of FI will work much better.
You have to be a little nuts to do what we do. Dont sweat it.

I see that The Blower Shop has a 671 LS kit. Anyone know what to do wrt relocating the throttle and MAF ? Maybe people who do this just go with carbs ?

Yes, or a stand alone injection like FiTech or FAST plus something like the MSD unit for ignition.
