It is a good question for sure .And as pointed out by many a boosted application can be done for far less money and will put far less stress on a block than an equally powered NA deal. I built this thing back in the 1990's. I could drive it anywhere, provided there were enough gas stations I used to drive it to the track and run 9's and drive it home, and back then there was not alot of that going on. It was using off the shelf parts on a stock block and iron Stage V(wedge stage V not hemi). I never hurt it and have no idea where it is or if it was run much at all after me. I had a great time with the car and was always a blast to drive. Maybe its time for me to build something with a power adder. I have dabbled with nitrous stuff also back in the 90/2000's. I left it to focus on NA stuff, and I can PROMISE you trying to make big power NA is more expensive than the power adder way. I could have had a helluva torbo.blower deal for the money I have dumped into going "fast" NA
