so can i run fuel injection on a 380 HP 360 crate motor?? that would be
good... i would like to run a/c and everything and make still very
streetable. i want power, looks, handling all in one. so i'm going to
pumping a lot of money into the old dak. i may even consider a supercharger
after i get some other things done. would a supercharger work well on a
crate motor like that?? i'm guessing a custom computer too. well i'll just
keep dreaming.... once i get out of school, the spending begins...
