... > What method of horsepower increase would you choose? > -Supercharger. > -Nitrous > -More cubic inches Of course more inches, because as they say there's no replacement for displacement. Blow it, turbocharge it, juice it, cam the **** out of it, but big inches still rules. You can run 10s without any of that crap on a junkyard 460 with the right induction and exhaust. I know a guy who does every weekend. And do those mods to a BB motor and you're talking four-digit horsepower that you can actually drive around. And screw gas mileage. That's what beaters are for. In street trim, the 1970 Ford 460 put out 505 lbs/ft. of torque. You can rub the damned valve covers clean and get 10 hp out of those things due to improved heat dissipation. ;^) > -A more refined (upped compression, etc) motor? > > Personally, I think more cubes is the sensible path, owing to > it's simplicity, but then bolting on a supercharger or nox bottle > is perhaps easier. You are a wise man. All that stuff complicates things and affects reliability. Big-inch motors rule, period. > -Rich |
