you know,i think Super chevy used that on their project car Silver Streak. (look for SC may 2000 if you want to see it on a TPI car). only thing i don't get is where the battery is. it can't be in the same spot.

Not in my opinion when you can make it yourself cheaper and not have to move the battery. Just my thought though.

$250 is definately a good price for 20 HP, but do you really think you'd get gains like that? I don't. You could deinately fab something better out of the Home Depot racing department, Much cheaper too.

Incorrect.
As the car accelerates, that's where the power gain is.
But 20hp, that depends upon track testing.
At idle, no way.
Let me offer this.
My Wife's 6 cylinder 68 Chevy in her Camaro.
I changed carb & distributor. Made the engine solid runner.
But, no real omph over tall long hills.
I added a little ram air set up & a K & N, that made all the difference, even on that 250 cubic inch 6.
Going up the steep hill, that killed my 85 Firebird, this 68 flies and accelerates, now, going UP HILL!
This is why I want to get my 85 w/3.4 engine more air. It needs it, big time.
Even tho, I got the wrong air cleaner set up (off a 85 Camaro & I cannot close the hood with it, as placed in a Camaro) I'm gonna do something with it. I think I have an idea, but, that's Sunday's project. Today is lying on cold cement & doing brakes & oil. And this is Spring in Southern California.
