Ok I couldn't resist.

I've got one of these back pack blowers. How odd would it look going down the street with it on my back?





It wouldn't work. I'd have to get a new helmet and leathers to match the blower.

I call bullshit.

A leaf blower could hardly put out enough air to keep up with the demands of a running engine. They only make 1 pound of pressure or so.

Those guys didn't even have the end of it sealed to the air box :

Wow I can't believe this video is still popping up all over the net [laugh]

That is actually at the shop where I used to work, and if you look closely you can actually see me driving the car on the dyno [thumbsup] For all the nonbelievers, it really did make the extra HP but we weren't trying to seriously make any power. We were just acting stupid and joking around.

Oh and just an FYI, Honda North America will void your warranty if they see video proof of you spraying nitrous [cheeky]

Not my car btw, it belongs to the tall kid in the video with the shaved head. I was just the dyno operator. :angel:
