>for it, i dont want to spend more than 1500.
I know that my local 1/4 mile track has it's own website and allows anyone to post forsale/wanted ads for racing related merchandise. You might want to check with your local race track to see if they offer some similar service.

- There are a lot of factors, but with no other changes than timing and higher octane fuel it could be anywhere from 75 HP on up. Different blower/supercharger types have different amounts of boost. Keep in mind the more radical higher compression blowers are typically worse dependibility wise, starting etc.

Have you thought about turbocharging it? less stuff you have to change, you can run 1 carb instead of two, you keep your manifolds, easier on the engine, smaller package under the hood etc...
