Richard Holdener has been playing around with a junkyard find M90 supercharger for the past few videos, making an adapter to connect it to a 4.8L LS and then modifying the 4.8 for more and more power. These little Eaton superchargers were found on 3800 V6 Pontiac engines in all kinds of production cars 20 years ago and can be had for dirt cheap when you find them in the wrecking yard. They are durable, capable of supporting some fun power numbers, and are ultra simple but efficient. In this newest video he’s trying to see if he can make more power than anyone else ever has with one, by pulling it off the 4.8 and slapping it onto a 5.3 to see if he can mak 600 horsepower with it. Do you think it will happen? Watch.
