I'm thinking the 396/375 will be the best combo, but of course any of them should be way fast!

Have the superchargers gone away?...if so, why. There were a few comments on radiator problems and other issues, yet racing owners seem to be very satisfied....just curious

Not all !!!!!

The problem is the factory computer is difficult to tune the supercharged cars. Most of the R&D is with the fuel injection and the Holley system should be a much better package. Roger Allen and his team have been very helpful in supporting the cars. S.Bell

I had thought that also...but the specs were not what I had thought and it gets 15 HP before hitting the track.
