I haven't seen it in a while but there used to be a 71 with a blown 454 running around locally. The car was completely stock looking except for the hole in the hood and the blower sticking through. It was still running on the 8" rallye wheels.

Ha! Id still take a f-3r procharger over all! I just don't know if one will fit in a c3 vette yet. stupid insane. I suppose anything will fit if you really want it too. I'd love to hear the real power numbers these roots are pushing. I know they are mean but how mean?

Here's another one for you.
I've posted pics of this Vette before, but worth seeing again. The owner built it himself. Gets 1 MPG!

Only 703 HP? I would think a blown 502 would be higher than that.

Z-Mans C3 with a Magnuson blower on top of his 406sbc is one of my favorite builds:
