    I knew a guy who wired up a heater motor to his aircleaner of his pickup for towing traval trailers up in the mountains, trucks would want to vapor lock going up long passes, he also installed a cold can for the fuel, I figgered the heater motor wasn't a bad ideal concedering the thin air, fuel injection pretty much fixed our problems on later model trucks

    The bonus is that anything over 1/2 throttle the electric motor cant keep up and turns into an alternator from the air demand sucking the rotor faster.

    Not very encouraging to see that the seller misspells "Does" several times.

    Looks like something you'd find on a Civic, Along with stickers that add 25hp each and the gigantic spoiler that would surely make it to fly to space..

    there's no way that thing would even make 2-3 pounds of boost.

    PM3 Head
    Vitara pistons and rebuilt kit from FJ
    Delta 272 regrind
    MPFI swap p06 ecu

    still looking for a turbo though....

    also got the Valve cover painted last night:thumbs2:

    i wish some of the older SBF came with cast aluminum VC's instead of stamped steel.

    Im going to do a DIY article for trick painting ford valve covers soon...just need to get the paint.

    I Mean absolutly no disrespect to actual tuners, I was once the owner of a JZ Supra pushing 1000 hp so I understand import power. I was refering to the people who put useless things on their cars and try to rev up on a tuned car. You may not have many in So-Cal but there a dime a dozen in Nor-Cal.

    Not just look the part, or sound it.
