Long story, but funny.

that was pretty damned funny

thats really funny, too bad it wasnt a video so we could see it

Reminds me of why I continue to buy "Ode Skoo" cars :) .

But what really humors me is when people like that do make remarks like "ill beat your old man car with a 150 shot" such as on that page. As if I couldn't add a 150 shot on an older car in a similar fashion.

actually in all honesty without internal rebuilds, that Honda wouldn't take more than a 50-shot without imploding.
My car on the other hand can handle a 200-shot without breaking a sweat.
That's a good case for bigger is better I suppose. a big block is going to be able to handle the abuse of forced induction far better than a small 4 cylinder, which I guess is why you don't see a lot of honda with an 8-71 roots blower sticking out of the hood.

"which I guess is why you don't see a lot of honda with an 8-71 roots blower sticking out of the hood. "

Or because It wouldn't look right because it would have to be turned sideways :)

aside from requiring at least 350HP from the motor just to turn the screws for an 8-71

and you cant have a blower that is bigger than the motor. it would look really funny

Mazda had a concept of a supercharger driven by an electric motor, I wonder how well that would hold up though, it would take a lot of current and a lot of motor. It would be good for an all around performance and fuel economy assuming you could get it right and motivate the driver to keep his foot out of it, though.
