I've heard rumors of this before but I don't think it is very practical or worth the time and effort

A 5.0 at full throttle will suck in an awful lot of air and while a leaf blower can blow a fair bit of air I don't think it is near enough to build any pressure to be a big gain

turbo's can spin at like 50,000 rpm and develop between like 10-20 psi, or even more depending. A leaf blower can't even compare

and besides, imagine this, you are out on a friday night cruising around town and you pull up to a red light with a camaro already sitting there, he revs his engine and wants to go, you jump out of the car, open the hood, give your leaf blower a pull start and jump back in the car and are ready to go. The light turns green and you blow away the camaro like he's standing still, wait a second, he is standing still because he is laughing so hard he can't even drive

give it a try and let us know how it works but you won't see a leaf blower on my car
