Interesting stuff in the op.

I've always had a raging mega-huge boner for drag racing.


Now I've started looking at schedules and tickets and stuff.  Looks like I'm gonna have to go to the Carolinas Nationals.   [evil]

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I suspect that the blower is off of a very large diesel.

I've not seen one that large, but I don't hang around with the oil burner folks.

I too assumed it was photoshopped.

Nope, it's real.  They talk about it around the halfway point in the video.

His best guess is that the supercharger came off a locomotive.   :o

there is a car here in town with two blowers on it. I googled "double blower" to try to find it...  but this pops up

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me
