Supercharged Group: Forum Members Last Active: 10 Years Ago Posts: 74, Visits: 80	Pondering over the possibilities of this project I am about to undergo, something came to mind. How much power is average with what modifications and what heads, etc...??? Carbs, cams, transmissions, gear ratios, times in the 1/8-1/4 mile? This should be an interesting thread!
