for the average bloke with a blown car, your not gonna kill a stock 6l80e in a hurry.
So much so, i use them for conversions in other cars/models with an aftermarket controller.
It's happened before, It will all happen again.
Basically because that's what the ignorant used to do with earlier, far less complex boxes so more of the same. Unfortunately the 6L80 is a far more complex beast in which every adjustment affects at least one other parameter so is the quickest way to kill it. I only trust mine to Luis, the A6 guru.

The kit used to be around the $12-13k mark, may have changed. Contact Yella Terra.
They're rear fed though, not sure who makes the front feed version and if they're easily available here or if it's a US thing if he's talking Chevy SS.
I enquired at a well known workshop here in Perth and was told that the front entry whipple supplied fitted and tuned was about $18000 a harrop 2600 about $13500 and lsa blower $12000.

Hi guys
Is it legal in Qld for a blower to protrude through the bonnet.

I can't imagine it being legal on any later model car.
It is hard enough getting something stealth & mild legally approved in most states.
That is exactly what I was thinking. Hard to find any straight forward legislation in any state of Australia, but bottom line is if you get defected I doubt the car will meet the emission requirements and on top of that would need to be engineered to have a blower (I assume you are talking about a VF that did not come factory fitted with a blower). I went to all manner of effort to keep mine hidden.
You can't have any moving parts unguarded so if the pulley was the highest part, it would need a guard of some sort around it. If its just the case of the blower then it can't pose a further risk to injury should someone end up on your bonnet.
There's also rules about affecting your field of vision but I'm assuming you're talking about a late gen car with modern tech blower, not some tall stacked 6/71.
But as the other guys are saying, even if it is legal, you've still got a massive "pull me over and defect me" sign on the front of the car. Best off just putting a cowl on it if it can't fit under the bonnet.
