    For a 302 HO, which would be better, a low profile supercharger, or a turbocharger. I want maximum horsepower, but still keep a street legal car.
    Any help would be appriciated.

    turbo, way more efficient.
    blower, way easier!
    I'm turboing my 250; quite the chore, but its different and thats cool!

    What do you consider "maximum horsepower"?

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    exactly!

    thats becuase the class doesn't allow turbos... .yet... ;):D

    true... but if you use N2O with turbos they work really well :)

    u need it

    if you read the hot rod magzines like I do one of them not sure if it was Hot Rod or Car Craft but anyhow they put a PSC-1 procharger on stock bottom end 302 and made some crazy 550 plus horsepower that would make a nice little street car engine.;)
