750HP Hi Craig SORRY about the Fosters joke. Fosters is to Aussies what Budwieser is to the US. Have a Corona with a lemon or lime. That's better. The gear fills the place there the spacer was. behind the balancer. 1000hp in an old Falcon, you better have an tube frame and cage or that car will have the nickname {TWISTER}. I learned this back in 78 with a maverick Al and I put a 351C in that made 560 hp on the dyno. He hammered the car the first time and the unibody twisted and blew out rear quarter glass windows. The roof bent and the car was twisted 1 1/4" front to back. Took the drivetrain scraped the body. It ended upin a 69 fastback. Turbos make the most HP but lag and heat I don't like plus all the pipe plumbing you have to do. The blower can be set up for low or high boost by changing the pulleys, you need 2 lines for the oil, depending on the supercharger and a pipe for the inlet. Getting clean fresh air is the only other thing and a big airfilter. With the ERA cobra I only have a 1/4" from the blower pulley to the cross frame in the car. Everything fits,it's tight Have another cold one, catch you later Rick Lake
