CHA-CHINGGGGGGGG!!!!

Also, the block itself is an issue as the cylinder walls are not all that conducive for a blown application.

And lastly, the car itself is being built as a hybrid street/road racer and the blower wouldn't really help in that application either so why do it?

BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO DAMN COOL IN THERE!

If you are the sick person you say, I remember seeing a post about So Cal heat and icecicles. Put the blower in and hook it to the vintage air unit insted of the LS7. Wait, does the vintage air control panel have a setting on the fan control for "Hurricane"? What ever you choose will be hot. Keep that porn coming!
