    If you also add the proper cam for your setup you should be close. I had a 144 on my 34 Ford and it would surprise you.

    You won't need to up your compression with a blower, the blower will create a higher cylinder pressure anyway. If you want to keep it streetable you don't want to use a too big cam either (which could cut cyl pressure down again due to a longer/earlier overlap period). You might get good results for street use if you use a dual carb and only let the second on kick in at around 3/4 throttle. Then you can run round town on one carb and on the strip you've got two... What would the others think about this?
    But then there's always the question of price... If you're on a tight budget a blower sometimes tends to need parts that fall out of your budget
    For a cam check out the main cam websites and tell them what you want and what you have, there are all kinds of things you need to check if you use a blower...
    Just me thinking loud...
