I know the whipple and roots have a flat torque curve, but after 1st gear, it doesnt matter.

There is an air-to-water intercooler option (see end of 3rd parigraf (sp) in link)

Also they start out at 7psi and end at little over 8 pounds.

He could also upgrad to a 3.3 sc from the 2.3 that is in the base kit and would still fit better then the 177 blower.

Look near the botton of this page these a pic of a intercooled bbc vertion (sp)
