the blower? sure you can turn it on and off, it just depends on if you want it functional or not. A 30 yo XB 0-60 in about 8 seconds

And that XB is a V8 with about 4-4,5L ?

My previos car was a '89 Alfa Romeo 75 with a 2,0L straight 4 engine with 150hp. doing 0-60 in 8,2 seconds. Top speed in 2nd gear: 105kph (about 64mph) Then the limiter cicked in. and stil 3 gears to go

NIGHTWALKER: Stock 351C's are 5.8 Liters... You can see the metric 5.8 displacement sticker on the side of XC Cobras under the snake emblem on the front guards.

The big block conversion I'm doing in my XB, is a 460 bored .030" over, which comes out to be 467 c.i., or 7.65 Liters...I figure with a 44 gallon fuel cell, it'll go about 300 miles...now to just get that nitrous kit...

toyota have a switchable blower on early crowns and the 1ggze 2 litre straight six out of late 80's supra's . you can get a kit here to mount them on the GM 3.8 litre v6 as used in aussie commodores. if you want figures on falcon performance i suggest any falcon gt club websites .

"so whos gonna be the first to have a interceptor running this kinds setup."

I've got it designed with about 1/3-1/2 the parts but I need about $20K for the rest. 550HP NA with 1000+HP on Nitro/Methanol with Boost.
