Remove the air pump and slowly the main cat will clog.
You will then need to gut or remove the main cat.
The pre-cats will still be OK & should provide enough backpressure to work the aux ports.

Adding a blower will force you to re-engineer the whole intake.

I wish I could.
I have read enough to tell me it's more than I wanted to take on.
Check out the Atkins/Camden web site at http://www.camdensuperchargers.com/

That's why I just bought a turbo..
