Et isnt solely based on the car.... it has alot to do with whether or not you can drive worth a damn

assuming you can drive decent... low 12's high 11's

The thing with Powerdynes, is they can be inconsistent. Some have made great power, while others break and barely spin to 6psi. Just try not to overspin the blower going down the strip. JK!

if you put a nice set of heads on there.. that thing will be flying heads will be the only thing im not sure if they can flow enough the supercharger might be over kill because u cant flow that much inside the motor itself

Default Thanks for all the responses

The heads are stock but have double springs to match the cam, Crane Roller Rockers. I bought the car with the motor rebuilt, the cam was already in it. It's a Crane cam, but I don't know the specs. It seems to be decent, but probably only 220 duration @ 50. The cam pulls good 6000-6500 rpm. The car went 13.50 @101 before installing the supercharger.

With the Supercharger, the Car went 12.20's @112mph, with only a 1.81 60 ft. I was just wondering what other people have been able to get out of a combination like this.

I don't even have a boost guage on it. I got this supercharger off ebay, it was just rebuilt with one of those billet impeller upgrades. I think the supercharger works great. I only paid $1200.00 for the complete kit on ebay, and it came with everything, bolts, even the belt, and the FMU.
