You also can't just slap a blower on any motor. First, it must be healthy. You can put about 6 psi into a healthy stock 302. Second, you need to keep the compression under 9:1 or you won't really be able to use pump gas. If you want to make big power, you should build a blower motor, with fogred pistons, larger ring gaps, and decent flowing heads.
On my brothers pro 74, we just put his new setup in. It's a stock 92 5.0 (we'll build a 347 next winter) with an 8-71 on top. It will make about 5-6 psi. The car previously had dual quads, and ran like crap with them. Dual quads are too much for a stock/mild 302. Using the blower is different, because you are FORCING the air into the motor.

What size quads was he running, and how were they linked? I've read of impressive results with baby quads -- 500's -- on 302's and 5.0's. I can see twin 750's being too much. I'm not debating you; I really want to know before I get too far into this project.
