This is not a cropped photo. It is a blower off a freight train that this guy found at a junk yard. They did start the car with it on and with one blip of the throttle lifted the left hand wheel a foot off the ground and blew both head gaskets..

Im almost positive that isnt real. My g-pa knew a lot about train stuff and from what I can remember they are all turboed.

 

In any case that would be nuts to see a supercharger that big, on a car or not.

Yeah that's the Magnusson TVS-23,000. :jester:

 

You guys sure that's real? I mean the blower would have to weigh at least 400-lbs and I cannot see an intake manifold supporting that much weight STATIC let alone with g-forces applied to it.
