Tom is also doing it for his sand buggy. Replacing the snakes seems to be
the best route for a street car. I know that some folks love the snakes. For
as unique as they were in 1989, they are old hat today. I think an Eaton (or
better yet, a Whipple) is more impressive on top of the engine!!

Roots-type is the only way to go. No offense to the centrifugal people, but
centrifugal is just not proper for a heavy car with small cubes and no real
gearing options.
