Default Common sense

Common sense appears to be slapping me up-side 'th back o my head.
I thought...being a novice...that it would be "cool" to pop the hood of a Cobra and see a blower coiled up under the hood to bite back at the world.
Now I see for safety sake...that's not a good idea. I would much rather have the handling capabilities of IRS for our great Colorado Highways than a straightline hornet on steroids. Give me live axles I guess!
The other choice but sensless dollars wasted would be to put the blower in but put a larger pulley to slow the rpm's and lower the boost...which defeats the operation but still "looks cool"

Right now we have a guy's car in the shop. He has a 1961 Ford Falcon sedan delivery...with a Chevy 383. He is having us install a polished, throttle body, fuel injected blower from Whipple on top of his "Stroker"...talk about a guy who has a twisted sense of "cool"!
