blown 454

So I was passing my local Sheetz station and noticed a lowered s10, no biggie... as I was passing it I notice the huge blower on the hood. I had to turn around and make sure that it wasn't one of those stick on's. It wasn't. It was a fully 5" lowered blown 454 driven by an 70 year old man! He built this thing a few years ago and he only lives 2 miles from me. I'm surprised I never saw it before. He let me take some pics, unfortunatly I only had my cell phone with me but you will get the gist...










You can see here how close the blower pully is from the core support. He had tomove it forward 3 inches to make it fit...

Re: b

Do you think that he'd give you a ride in it with a vid camara?
I imagine that would make a good clip

Re: b

Just wondering a couple of things about it.
Did he tub the back tires too.
and did he move the battery into the box?

With at least an honest 500hp (I'm rather conservative when it comes to hp ratings and would rather figure things on the low side) he would have to run some pretty sticky tires. Are they DOT approved slicks

I know he moved the battery into the bed. From what I saw when I looked over the truck he didn't tub the ass end...Don't know if they're DOT approved or not but it passed inspection. (Both emissions and physical)
