[QUOTE=Irongrave;808140]unburied her from the snow, was easier to dig the XJ out then the ram. then took her u to where my dad works to give him a hand clearing snow. First time driving it the snow with the locker and KM2s. sucker is great, the tires never slipped spun or other wise lost traction. the locker was great I don't get people who say auto lockers in the snow are bad you gotta remember its back there and drive carefully in the snow.

Think NY sucks digging your jeep out, check out the last snow fall here is CO...

Aired back up, re-connected the sway bar, and started pulling my broken front flares off.

Yeah, it won't work. Turbos and superchargers are designed to move huge volumes of air. That isn't. The only thing you'll create by installing that is an intake restriction.

why would it cause intake restriction? at the right amperage it would push 300cfm. this would provide ample air intake.

If you could get it to pull 300cfm consistently for long periods I'd be interested just out of curiousity to see if/what changes in performance occurred.

it actually would work, kinda.

an ACM 242 requires just about 300cfm at 5,000 rpm. So yeah there's a chance that could actually work.

well we used to use one similar in our boat for pumping water and it would run sometime for hours in end to keep water out of certain chambers that leaked so i think it should be fine in that regard
