I'm saying you cannot put a Whipple on a "stock" Mach 1 motor. It will blow within one dyno pull.
Which is why, if you are considering forced induction, beyond a small shot of nitrous, you should spend the extra coin and forge the bottom end of the motor. Don't be penny-wise and pound foolish (old time saying). You forge the bottom end, and your options are pretty much endless, you don't forge the bottom end, and you pick the wrong combination of blower, or tuner, and BAM, you have a lot of nice little paperweights to put on your desk!
