Christ. Is this thing street legal? If so, it could give that British guy with the Vauxhall Victor a run for his money.

IMO, there IS such a thing as too much.
and this is a bit too much.
So, I'm guessing about 1/4 mpg or less at "full" boost running on race gas, and roughly 3-5 mpg on pump gas??
That's a whole lotta go power!

Quick question, when did BBC's start running 4 bolt SBC valve covers? Either way, still a wicked setup.

i was wondering the same thing, then i thought that maybe the newer style heads for that motor may have changed over the years.
