Call me crazy, but that can't be Japan. The garage is a little too redneck and dirty. Come to think of it, it's too spacious in there to be Japan.

I don't believe it's Japanese. I think the guy looked at the domain name (cyclonejapan) and thought it was from there...

It's actually a U.S. car, and these chargers are just for looks, he only runs one when racing.


That said, i've seen probably about a dozen setups like this, some even on the track

Well, they looks like shit. I mean, that looks like a nice car and the motor looks like something out of a cartoon, not to mention how much that must have cost.

So the second blower is basically just a big carb spacer? It's probably hurting performance.

Well, it's a show car essentially. But from what i've read before, the 2nd blower still produces power, but he only runs one when the car hits the track. Just what i've read on other forums. The 2nd is for "WOW" factor, which it definately gets


There are definately a few twin blower setups i've seen run down the 1/4 mile. I can specifically think of a crazy old aggie, need to find pics.

At first glance I was more grabbed by the "WTF" factor. Moter aside though, I love the body style of the old goats.

Domestic rice! It looks stupid and IMO get's the what was he thinking comments. A single supercharger would have worked fine.
