Why not turbo's? Maybe you can find a pair of T-3's from a T-Bird in the
junk yard. Mayf is using a pair I believe. Think he expects 600+ HP on a SB
Ford.
Although not the preferred method people have been known to run turbo's
with a draw through carb set up.
Build another set of headers later and run it on the Hemi.
But then why not Nitrous on both motors?
