I did an original Paxton with 750 holley (huge jets) in the bonnett on a Superformance Cobra 351 that had 9.8 compression back in 2001. I used the MSD retard ignition box that retarded the timing under acceleration and also use a fuel pressure regulator that increase the fuel pressure as the Paxton made boost. The Paxton was rebuilt with a bigger disc inside for the 351 as the orignial only put out about 4 or 5 lbs of boost and this one took it up to 10 or 12. Was a pretty cool car back then....Sold it to a guy in Nashville and saw it on Ebay a couple years ago.
