Yep, I'm not sure either, though I suspect it wouldn't complain any
more than with a supercharger. ? The setup to try it on might be
a carbeurated 360 or 380 crate motor... (Or maybe a street motor
with an M1 and a carb...)

If I remember right, I believe our very own Gene in Houston has done
this. Gene?
I'd love to try this. If I ever get enough money for another Dak,
I probably *will* give it a try. I don't want to conduct an experiment
of this magnatude with my daily driver though...
One of these days, I'd like to get an old (cheap) 2WD RC Dakota to
use for dragstrip duty. (though I'd like to keep it street legal, if
at all possible) A beefy rearend and tranny, a 360 or maybe a 440
or (dreaming now...) a HEMI with a couple of 2.2L turbos, an intercooler,
and a 150-200hp shot of nitrous... Look out Dahrl!! ;-)
