All of my turbo experience is with motorcycles, but I am excited that you may produce a blow-thru system utilizing the new Edlebrock EFI. I want one! Question: Do you plan to include some kind of detonation/ignition retard or water/alcohol injection as part of the kit? And what compression ratios do you recommend for planned boost levels. Just thinking ahead.

Regarding the "detonation/ignition retard or water/alcohol injection": Just today, another Pontiac fanatic has turned me on to the MSD6BTM (check it out). That totally solves the retard problem. Water injection is a crutch for poor gas or a mis-tuned sytem. With EFI, you probably won't need it.

Regarding compression ratio. 7.0 - 8.4 just like they came stock in 1971+. The CR vs boost trade-off is always in favor of boost.

P.S. I like your signature "Better lucky than good". It's especially operative in Las Vegas where I used to live.
