Boost meets Juice

Thought I'd share a couple favorite old videos of the supercharged old heap on dope. It's running two cheater plates one DIY and one store bought.

This is back when the old heap had small tires.

Well shiver me timbers I'm watching it again so I can see that (all four tires off the ground).

However much power it takes to run 145.7 mph in a 3450 lb car.

I used one of those calculators where you put in the trap speed and weight, and it will tell you a rough hp estimate.

Here are a few to close from.
