Twin turbos on a 350 and less than 300 HP? That thing does suck.

That thing was built by some P&G engineers at a facility about 2 miles from where I work. I question whether or not it could be replicated for teh $2,007 price tag, but it's pretty cool.

It was built for GrassRoots Motorsports annual challenge where your budget is the year ie: $2,007. P&G let them use their shop for alot of the work. I guess knowing that it would eventually benefit the United Way. They are huge into the United Way!

Again - cool, but I'm not really sure what the hell you wold do with it.
