Seems like it. It's very rare that you see a supercharged car running up here. There was one red GT with a supercharger, and the 94 Camaro is running a Novi, I believe, but nitrous seems to be the big fad right now. Here in Amarillo, there are more guys running blowers along with a couple of twin turbo Mustang setups, but again, there are a whole bunch of guys running nitrous. Of course, there are the other 100 guys who show up at the track running completely stock or only mildly touched up cars.

I don't know...I guess it's just the easy way to go fast so all the guys are jumping on the bandwagon. I've got a friend with a carbed 347 stroker in his 85 GT, and he's plumbed for a 150 shot. So far he's only managed a 12.3 at Idalou with some serious tuning problems. The engine is out of the car right now while he does some work, but I expect to see him well into the 11's up here when it's all said and done.

I've thought about a 75 shot for my GT, but with the alloy pistons I'm running, I hate to think about blowing a ring land off. We'll see.
