I had a bug eyed Sprite once. Had a Judson Supercharger on it. Used to
blow the head gasket about twice a week if I remember right, but a great
little car and had lots of fun with it.
Very cool! The blower probably got it up to over 60 hp! Wheehaw!
I saw an article on someone who was running one of those at about 150 BHP
recently. Can you imagine? It had suspension and brake upgrades as well.
