I've done turbo cars and I like the blower cars better so far.

The blower weights about 65 lbs and rest of the parts needed weight 20 lbs. So for around 85 lbs I'll add a bunch of power.

Do you think that the 427 will overextend the efficiency of the LS9 intercooler? Do you know how high the JA IAT's got during the Optima event?
