Smile Cars with Big Blowers

When I was young I loved the cars with the big Roots type Blowers sticking out the hood for all-to-see. Now I'm older and have a truck with a Roots type blower hidden under the hood. But we still love the sound of that blower howling when we spool up that sucker. This make me young again.

Try adding Sal's filter kit. It makes the Lightning sound like F18's spooling up for full burn takeoffs. Way way cool. Even kind of scares you at first.
