Roadkill Chevy Monza

It sounds pretty good, for a smog-era 305. Then they dynoed 140 to the wheels which is actually really good. But they got another 40-50hp by adjusting the rockers and replacing the carb (it was lean) so...clearly this one has a cam or something.

Don't forget about the leaf blower supercharging which apparently does something. I need to find the Corvette episode where they did something similar. Remember the Mighty Car Mods guys tried it and it didn't do anything. But they had a wimpy electric leaf blower.

Yeah, turns out you need gas power. And 5 of them.
