A LOT of very Nice Fabrication on that Dragster Skip. Say 600 cfm Carbs, a Paxton industrial Ball Drive compressor system inside the snout cover, the large Compressor Wheel and Housing. It would have made some power but probably not live long on the street as the bearings were not up to it for long duration runs.

The Paxton Supercharger design was used on World War II Submarines to exchange the bad air for good air inside the hull.
Usually 1 unit installed in each of several areas in the sub to replace the bad air with good air from above the sea.

Looks like the factory dual quad intake and they just moved the two AFBs over.
