Also, back then electronic fuel injection was new. No one was building quick FI cars. The fast cars were carb'd and running a hidden nitrous kit. If someone was running a blower it was a 671 roots and they had a ton of money in it.

Yep, that was how it was. I did street racing from 69 to 91. It was the carb cars that were fast and if you couldn't build a FAST engine you put Nitrous on it ( or a blower ).
