I know we used the throttle body out of a 5 liter mustang engine and I bought the supercharger setup from Kai R. I think he got it from Vintage Inductions quite a while ago. Most of the other parts were custom made. We are running about 6lbs of boost but I hope to increase it to 9 with a smaller supercharger pulley.

All the fuel/air cells were filled in while on a dyno at a shop in Greensboro. I was not present so the only thing I know about that is they got 148hp at the rear wheels.

I've been driving the car for about 2yrs with this setup. The first supercharger pulley only gave about 3lbs of boost. We changed to one 10% smaller and got it up to the 6 range. I have one 20% and 30% smaller and hope to go back to the dyno with these to optimize the boost, ignition and PI.

There is a small picture in the VTR mag with the SR-71 black bird on the cover.
