I remember hearing about this truck awhile ago but never saw pictures of it. It looks Awesome!! I can't imagine what the blowers would sound like. -Neil

I would have to say thats cheating also. Its not fair that he should have two blowers .

BBQ, the thing I don't understand with his setup is WHY? just pull the eaton off, make a plate with a 90degree 4inch elbow, strap a thottle body on there and just put the novi on with the 5.4 motor kit. You could accomplish the same thing and make it allot easier on himself, infact you would probably get more boost with just the novi. That's my plan, one of these days?

i think Chet was looking for the best of both worlds, with the instant response of the Eaton, and the big boost and cfm of the novi. i think he got a lot of conflict with the 2 systems and i agree, having both blowers, the novi is the way to go for max hp and boost.

Yeah, he was trying to get the Eaton for the low end and the Novi for the high end. He had the Eaton down to 3lbs of boost I think?

I could see that somehow, but if you have a higher stall in your converter wouldn't that eliminate that also? Just curious so I know
