Personally, I like keeping things simple, building an engine once, and enjoy driving it rather than fixing it. Not enough power? Put in a bigger engine.

That being said, there is a guy at CACC running a relatively stock EFI 302 powered FFR with a Vortec S trim hair drier. With relatively conservative boost, 4 psi or so, he can blow the doors off most 460's, gets 22 MPG over the road, and drives it to work.

His name is Wade Chamberlain, and he hangs out at capitalareacobraclub.com. He's an engineer (mechanical) and got all the details right. Look him up.

Inside joke (DoD). Mechanical engineers build weapons systems, civil engineers build targets, and environmental engineers (like me) clean up the mess afterward. Job security, ya know.
