    Default 1,000 Horsepower '69 Camaro

    This was at the Rolling Sculptures car show in Ann Arbor the other day. You can hear the whine of the blower, and check out the iridescent paint job!

    Looks like its in need of body work if they plan to showcase it for contests.

    I spoke with the owner briefly, I didn't get the impression that he was in it for winning contests. And that's totally fine, not everyone is in it for competition.

    If it's mainly a street car it stop the dirt and debris from beating the shit out of the teflon liners in those blowers. I myself don't like it, but it doesn't make or break the car. It's a decent looking piece, and functional. Most of us here do rebuilds of our shit on a regular basis...if his intention is to cruise, then the filter = many miles of trouble free blower operation.

    then he doesnt need the birdcatcher and can run a regular air filter
