HissingCobra, are those HP numbers through an auto?

seem low for a combo like that.

definetally can't argue with your ETs and MPH though.

Nope, I've got a Tremec 3550 and my brother uses the Ford T-5. These numbers are at the wheels. At the flywheel, we're probably close to 360-370 horsepower. Not too bad for 306 cubic inches.

For comparison, my friend's 455 Buick makes 313 rear wheel horspower and 389 ft. lbs. of torque vs. our 307-279/311-287. However, he's got 149 more cubic inches than us. For small motors, I think that we do alright.

agreed... NO2 is more expensive in the long run.... figure $35 to fill bottle, so after 70 or 80 bottle refills... your going backwards from what the supercharger and related componets cost.

i will take my power adder on the easy payment plan of $35 a refill... thanks

Did the cost of nitrous go down? In the early '90's I used nitrous and it was $7 per pound, or $70 to fill a 10lb bottle. I wish it were only $35 a refill when I used it...
