  • Power adders

    If you where told to build a engine with only one power adder what would be. Blower, Turbo, Nitrous, Propain(Diesels) and so on. Also would it be Injected or Carbed.

        I would have to go with EFI, twin turbo. Are twin turbos still one power adder?

              - You have to be a plumber AND an electrician to do maintainance on your own car... LOL

              I would keep it simple; - Blower

                Blow through carb'd pro-charged BBC. By far the easiest and safest way to more power than you can shake a stick at.

                    OK, I'll be the guy.

                    For what application?

                      My second choice would be a whipple or PSI blown BBC. Talk to these guys:

                          (I love all the rest of the stuff, turbos and the like, but there's something about the look that I can't shake!)

                              True.....but all of a sudden, I'm getting visions of that Stude wagon going all Pro Fairgrounds.......must-resist-monochrome-and-pastels.............

                              For my vote, I like the EFI-and-ProCharger idea myself.

                              I like carburetors, but I'm ready for F.I. on a project car.

                              When money falls from the sky, I will do that very setup...LOL
