HA!! My car is almost a twin of yours. 73, E85, but Whipple and 4l80E. I doubt mine will run with yours though. Whipple 2.3 @ 13 lbs,, 6 liter with 10.5 comp, BTR 3 blower cam, 2" headers, E85, 3K Yank, Ford 9" w/ 3.70 gear. Stop light fun! Still working on tune and gremlins. Track this spring.

I have a local guy tuning it for me. I originally wanted to go turbo but the only person I knew who could do the job kept pushing back start dates. I finally had enough and bought the blower. Probably kick myself later for not having waited. But, I see a direct port nitrous kit with these blowers make serious power... if the blower isn't enough. Just shooting for mid to low tens.

Yeah Im planning on an ls1 intake. The only issue I run into then is making sure the alternator fits under the hood. Also I want to keep the power steering, so I'll have to build the hotside around it.

Been a while since i updated this thread but here are the latest passes down the track.

This is on 20lbs of the foot brake leaving on 5lbs. The car dead hooks and is really consistent with that slow 60'. Without a intercooler the IAT temps are 300* so i am pulling a lot of timing to keep her a live. Next plans are to keep tuning the boost builder feature to leave on as much boost as the chassis will handle. Then this winter install my new holley hi ram and a intercooler.
