Yes it works, but its real tight. If you're in it for the 'wow' factor thats the way to go. If your in it to make a machine that does something other than straight blasts then the blown SB would be the way to go. A properly built blown SB should provide mega thrills. THere was a 440 Volare' in Seattle recently (maybe still is), complete with air conditioning!!!! I quess it may also be function of how much of a challenge are you looking for????
