Well now your talking big a$$ power! Check out www.cobraautomotive.com they have a dual (yes dual) Paxton setup for the BB FE fords. Lots of power and torque. fits under the cobra hood also. Priced at $8500 complete. They have a single setup also for a wee bit less. And no your not nuts we all want the power!G.

I think it looks outstanding. Very nice.

Anyone comment on how much additional power?

What's the most amount of compression you can safely run with a supercharger?

[Tom Wells]

MAXVELO,

Beautiful job! If I run out of HP I'll look you up

Chaplin,

That's a question with many answers. It depends on the rest of the engine's specs and also how you are going to use it.

According to Weld Motorsports (Carl Robinson) the crate motor puts out 600+ on it own and 820 with the fuel injection and SC@ 8lbs. boost.

Chaplin,

Most start at around 8.5 and run around 6 to 8 pounds of boost. Most any engine will live under those conditions. When you start pushing over 8 you need to start getting pistons, rods, steel crank and on and on and on........
