The blower arrived!!!!
Discussion
Look at the f'in size!!!! This this is the same width/height as a 15inch monitor!!! And weighs an absolute beast!
Apparantly this thing will overpower the engine in noise!!!! Excellent, at last, I get a screaming sound!.....
Its the race spec blower, capable of pushing out enough to make 1300bhp out of my 6 litre conversion ( if I wanted to
)

Wanna race when your done SXS. I have a bog standard 4.5 Cerb, and I fancy my chances.
Only one proviso, doesn't matter how long the straight is, but I want at least one bend.
That way the enormous lead you gain over me on the straight will dissapear when the crane has to arrive to turn your car round.

I doubt it, I've gone all out, and also done a lot with the handling too! We'll have to wait and see if my ideas will deliver the goods on bends too....

You could fit a bus in there! Realistically, its all fitting in, including the BIG MC321SS headers! Tight squeeze with all the cooler rads and stuff, but thank god, TVR put the engine further up to the cockpit, plenty of room to play with, not forgetting there will be a very distinct hump on the custom hood afterwards for the custom intake manifolds.

Not unless you can bend the rules of physics
Any idea what the all up weight of this puppy will be?

Yes, I can see it now, you get everything fitted snuggly, no more room for another cubic inch of engine block or rpm of blower and then you go to get in the drivers seat.......oh.....bugger.....no room. 
I trust you will spoof you local TVR dealer by taking the car in for a "problem" to see the look on their faces when they open the bonnet?
more etc....oh and maybe some

I've used the laws of physics to my advantage... as long as I am steady with the right foot that is...
There has been weight reduction going on, and I envisage a lot more weight being shedded when I get round to the bodywork, carbon fibre is up on the list... but by adding all the gear required to hold the power reliably, I think we might just even it out again... but we have shifted a lot more weight to the rear by moving major components of the upgrade and batteries etc to the boot, we will remove as much weight from the front as possible, the downforce ducts in the new hood will help keep her down aka F50 style scoops angled at accurate pressure zones, and some undercar diffusers/groundeffects panels will be put on, I've decided that I like the classic lines too much to get rid of them, so I will be hiding much of the aero assistance features under the car - I believe the hood and an electronic spoiler on the boot will be the only external features which will stand out... I spoke to a bodywork specialist, and the cost of the speed 12 style front end conversion is looking at just over 20k!!! so I said forget it, they said it would be cheaper if I already had the mould and the car was already stripped down etc etc... oh well, not to worry, the cerbera looks great, looks like she'll be a so called 'sleeper!'....
