A complete original Mr Norms blower set up with brackets and pulleys sold on ebay for $1500 recently. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...e=STRK:MEWAX:ITI'd love to hear about someone running one too. The original 72 GSS Demons are extremely rare and valuable that you won't find too many people wanting to beat on one. Rhinodart may have some info about how they run.

I came very close to buying one of the complete kits off ebay a couple of years ago and had planned on a very healthy stroker buildup with it. Once I got into the facts of it though I determined that the unit does not flow much air IF your planning on doing much modifying aside from the blower. I think it would be great for a 12 sec ride but you will hit a "brick wall" with airflow if you want to go much more. I chose to go naturally aspirated as my 416 with W2's, .600 solid cam and tti's would have seen little if any gain for the money spent and I wanted to have room to grow for future modifications. The moral to my story is think about your future performance goals before jumping aboard. Good luck with whatever you do though Rick

would like to find an original kit if anyone has one(dreaming). Thanks for any input/help!
Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels in California bought all the early stuff from Paxton. He has the original tooling and a lot of NOS stuff. He would be the guy to talk to.
A few years ago I spoke with someone who apparently had some experience with these cars. He said the factory 340 cams work poorly with the blower. He used 318 cams which he claimed worked much better. No numbers to back that up though.

I drive my original B3 blue 72 GSS Demon about once a month to keep it in shape. It is just like Rhino said. It is slower than my six pack 71 is by the seat of the pants, But really they would have to be run side by side against each other to be fair as the six pack car has more gear, larger cam and and yet it still is alot of fun to drive. I have lots of this stuff as I have collected a few extra parts and still have two out of the three GSS demon 340's still. I may be able to help you with your questions. I was told that my blue 72 is putting out about 450 hp. It spins the tires easily on launch, and has run a best of 13.04 at 104mph with 3.91 gears and stock exhaust and tires. I live in Orange City, Florida. Grant Eaton 407-947-9005

Picture of the 340 GSS engine as setup for the orange and white stripe demon 340 GSS. It is modified for racing with an upgraded impeller and a cog style pulley to keep belt from slipping in an effort to get more boost. cam is a solid cam with 528 lift, 284 duration on 112 degree centerline. Its going back into the orange car with the original "Mr Norms" headers. But came out fo the car with the early HP manifolds on it. 340 "U" castings with big valves. Trw forged pistons. NOS cheater nos kit plumbed into bottom of original Norms airbox to help hide it. 4.56 gear. 4200 stall. 28x10.50 slicks

That is a way cool car! Mine is Top Banana yellow with a black vinyl top. I am sure you know of the blue 4 speed 72 GSS that was in the magazines a few years ago. I seem to recall that they claimed it was the only 4 speed car. Guess they were wrong.

Wow, did you ever run it like that? What were the times?
The weakness of the sn60 blower is its inability to withstand high RPM. Did the impeller change help that? I would be pretty nervous with the 4.56 rear.

Grant, that is absolutely the nicest combo/best equipt Demon on this planet in my opinion. I tried to buy Bill Seftons when it was for sale on ebay- but we know how that turned out... If you ever want to part with yours mine could use a stablemate and I just happen to have a extra empty garage stall Rick
