If that's what women wear at the beach in Tasmania I am clearly in the wrong state!

Nah I am just dreaming up some ideas mate

The car that is my avatar has a Paxton on it & that 5.0 gets around 22-4 miles per gallon around town, better on the highway.

Best bang for the buck in my view. I have bought Paxton kits many times & they are so reliable.

Paxton I hear you say?....interesting as the 347 N-1 Novi 1500 has one

The Novi is the big boy, for daily use a small Paxton would be all you need.

What do you think it woud be like having something like that in a daily?

[Frank70]

Had a Paxton on a 5.0 EFI motor in my AC Cobra. Was great.
Car ran like a stocker - basically it was - and would be no probs as a daily driver.

Instantly add 100HP using one of Paxton's entry level kits. 5-6 lbs boost.

Cheers,
Frank.

What sort of hp was it packing frank? Supercharged efi seems to be the best way to build a serious street motor. Seems a bit excessive but I think it'd be a lot of fun

[Frank70]

Lee, it was a stock 5.0 HO EFI motor from an 1986 Mustang.
Stock was good for about 220HP - with the Paxton about 320HP.

Plenty in a 1000kg car.

Like I said, behaved like a stock car, so ideal for a daily driver.

Cheers,
Frank.

The car in my avatar is a daily driver, but with blowers you can also go Kenny Bell etc.

One of the guys in the Brisbane club as a paxton on a 302 and has had some issues with the ceramic oils breaking, causing oil to blown into the carb. There was a theroy it was due backfiring but not sure. Maybe this unit has it's own problem.

Kerry do they normall hold together ok. I was thinking of one but have gone of them due to this issue.

[hybrid]

I've heard of the backfiring issue with them too actually.

[Shaunp]

They shouldn't backfire really, means the carb is too lean when you get on it, or crossfireing. But it is a worry. I was kind of hoping to throw my parts bin special engine together with stuff I have lieing around, which in it's self would be a tidy 289, drive it for a while sort the car then bolt up a paxton, but not so sure now. They look so cool though with that polished carb box, old school stuff, that really me. I want my car to be kind of a late 60s/early 70's time capsul hotrod , period stickers on the rear window etc etc. Want to look like someone went to Dunton Ford Santa Anna picked up a new 67 deluxe A code coupe and then went and fitted period type wheels, and other mods, shifter, engine mods etc,etc Paxton is right up there I reckon.
