Hey ya'll. Just like the title says I put a modified Black and Decker leaf blower on my "07 Charger R/T. I had also added the 6.1L SRT8 intake manifold, 6.1L SRT 8 TB, 6.1L SRT 8 map sensor, 6.1L SRT 8 fuel rail, 6.1L SRT 8 injectors, MMX pre Eagle 5.7L to 6.1L intake adapters, EGR delete kit, disabled M.D.S, K&N C.A.I (modified for a TRUE C.A.I), JBA headers, AFE POWER 46-32007 TB Spacer, Diablo Sports i2 custom tune, deleted resonator, dual Flow Masters and deleted stock rear mufflers. The blower is attached to the 90 degree elbow, which attaches to the K&N filter located besides the drivers headlight. There a 20' outdoor power cord underneath the vehicle going the circular drain hole cover in the truck. The cord is attached to a 1000w power inverter that has an ON/OFF switch wire, which is ran to the armrest on the drivers side. I will be getting a dyno within the next month (mostly for the 6.1L stuff) but IF (which im super skeptical) any hp improvements are seen with the dyno for the leaf blower, ill report back. As i had the power inverter already, the "Blower" project only cost approx. $45. As I had recently had a buddy spend over 5k on a turbo kit install for his Nissan 240x, I wasnt about to copy that route. Unfortunately, living in Cali and with SMOG every 2 years and fortunately have the LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, having huge expensive upgrades are out of the question for me.

Measure the manifold pressure with diablo when on and off. You should be able to see any positive (or negative lol) benefits.

No intercooler??

Man o man, that’s gonna really sap any extra performance the forced induction might be adding...:doh:
