    Like I said, most of it is for the looks, but any extra power is welcomed.

    I'd check with the techs on the compression ratio---An efi car makes a lot of fuel and timing corrections that a carbed car doesn't. A blower uses a lot of horsepower just to turn it, be a shame to spend all the $$$$$ and end up losing horsepower, or worse grenading an engine....
