I don’t disagree with you. At the same time, there is a visual appeal, and the playlist (second link) has a video where the guy made like 560hp RWHP on E85 and a smaller pulley.
My understanding was that the majority of the cost was all the HC specific FEAD components. But these guys are just flipping the pulley and running the blower off the accessory belt with an add on idler. Not the best or the factory would have done it, but workable and somewhat cost effective. I think he said he had $1800 in the blower itself? Seems like it could be done for much less than an Edelbrock kit?
Not going to lie, those videos have me kind of thinking of looking for a blower to pick up “just in case”. :p
Hopefully that will pass like the ‘23 SPWB I was drooling over last week and running payment scenarios on.
Nice! Wish I had some progress coming. I do have some modules to scan and starting to dig into sniffing the CANbus to get the CC messages so I guess I’m at least doing something.
