I figured I'd share a story about a redneck supercharger I made with a buddy for an 84 GT. He bought the car, an auto, carbed 5.0, for 500 bucks. We decided it would be a good idea to paint the car yellow. We rattle-canned the hood yellow and blacked out the scoop. Looked okay, lost interest in doing the rest of the car. Next we were trying to figure out what to do with it when we decided to use a gas powered leaf blower to see if it would boost it. After laughing for about 5 minutes, we got to work. We needed a custom air box to direct the air into the carb. 12-pack of Coors Light and some duct tape took care of that. Actually looked halfway decent. Next was how to figure out how we could plumb it. We wound up taking some dryer tubing, the flexible kind, and we test fit it to the Coors Light Limited Edition airbox and the output of the leaf blower. But where are you going to put the leaf blower? Where is the tubing going to go? Well, really the only place for the blower was inbetween the two front seats. As for the tubing, we managed to get it under the passenger side fender and through the passenger side window.
Time for some test hits. Prior to our redneck blower install, that POS couldn't chirp 2nd gear. Believe me, we tried. Go time. My buddy drove, while I sat in the back seat, passenger side with the blower. He gunned it and I fired up the blower, on rabbit setting of course, and we got thrown back in the seat. Passenger front seat came back and hit me. As we hit 2nd, The wheels broke loose. I'll be damned if that thing didn't work. I wish I had pictures for you, but it's a pretty easy visual. It was hilarious.
