the paxton is always a good sc to use, as is the vortech. i also like the small holley 174 roots type sc as well. the only problem with the holley charger, and the similar ones available, is hood clearance.

Anything is possible. Move a few things around and you can have your cake and it it too. Not right out of the box, but if you have any fabbing skills, it is possible

Not necessary. The Paxton Novi 1200 passenger side model will fit 1964-1968 small block Mustangs WITHOUT any hood modifications or having to remove A/C or PS. However, you may need to relocate the battery to the trunk.

that is not an rc model. it is the n9m, the 9th proof of concept prototype for the XB-35 flying wing bomber, which became the XB-49 after WWll ended, then eventually, when the technology came of age, the current B-2 spirit stealth bomber.

I don't have the Paxton 1200 yet. But I was wondering if anyone knew whether you can run it on a engine with 12:1 compression without blowing a head gasket

sure, if you dont mind limiting boost to about 3psi max, and running water/methanol injection almost constantly, and backing your timing down to around 20 degrees total. or switching over to alcohol as a fuel, then you could bump the timing to around 28 degrees total.

with that boost you might hit about 16 or 17:1,just lower compression

Well I just went with a 671 roots set up on my 347 dart block. I'm only running 6psi and it's sick on the street. I'm building it for 16psi and meth injection to cool the blower. There is nothing sicker than a stang with a hugh blower sticking out of the hood. I will try to post a few picks. If you interested I can give you info on my 671.
