Sweet. Tim (the guy we sold our firebird 400 to) Just stroked the pontiac 400 to a 467 and has a pretty big shot to back those cubes up. Pretty damn fun to drive.

Draw through, before the turbos........WET flow :)

You can do a blow thru, aka carb in a box setup.......

I'm not understanding why you would pressurize a supercharger. And johnny, your avatar is in violation of stealthmode copyright. :P
