I don't see how you can do it easily other than changing supercharger pulleys to dial the boost level. Either that or if you could get a boost valve in the pressure tube leading to the carb and get it to vent at a preset pressure. Not sure if something like that exists but probably does.
This is somewhat what I was thinking. I know there are some very sophisticated boost controllers on the market.

Wouldn't a Air to Air be better suited for bracket racing???

No, not at all. Temps are manageable with an ice/water tank. Once an Air to Air is heat soaked in the later rounds, your screwed.
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

This is what I was thinking as well. I have all the help I need to make a mini control system to keep the temps where they need to be. The company I work for has a controls group that loves challenges.

I have been talking to a few people about this as well. I want to ret to run super gas using a boost controller on my car. 9.90 at 160 should be pretty fun... There are guys doing it with throttle stops, so I know we can do it with a boost controller
Maybe we could put our heads together on something if it doesn't already exist.

A/W will heat soak too, but easier to cool between rounds by running the fan. I've heard some guys throwing a bag of ice of their A/A to cool it between rounds.

Have you ever spoke with Joe from Hyperaktive? He has the boost controller that would be the best for this application. Im not going to pretend to know how it works, but its not time based, its more accurate then that. I think he watches driveshaft, or mph, but it would be the best deal for theis type of application.

Brian,speaking about heads...If you are talking about running the ttt5 series in dallas area you may want to look at the head rules for smallblock mopars...I think even thier extreme class only allows w/5 heads on small mopars,a very friendly big block nitrous class...I hope to make some of the ttt5 races in the future with the cuda...Been following your build and it looks like a very trick and killer car,good luck with it as we need all the heads-up mopars we can get Gary

Thanks Gary,
I am indeed talking about the extreme 10.5 class. I have been talking with the powers that be to make an attempt at getting my W8 heads on the accepted list. That list sucks for small block mopars mostly because there has been so little interest that no others have been seriously looked at. The only way a mopar could possibly be competitive in that class is to run a BIG inch big block with 440-1 heads on a serious dose of Nitrous. This is unless the accepted heads list changes . Definately let me know if you come down to any of the races.
