I have no experience with these setups... but I can relay what I've heard, which is based on a later B18 Judson (I think.. but maybe the guy I talked to had a B16 unit.)

It's good for something like 2-3 pounds of boost, and maybe a 8-10 hp gain, and at the cost of reliability.

Man, it's a super cool thing. No question about that. But if I had a NOS Judson sitting in a box in the corner and was looking for a bit more power, I'd sell it off on ebay too. then spend the money on engine work and parts and make a normally aspirated unit that I expect would blow the doors off a Judson equipped car. I expect you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on the vintage racing circuit that's using these things (would likely be allowed, being a period modification), on anything, be it a Volvo or MG or Sprite.. etc. (though, on low compression motors, MG TC/TD... they probably make a much bigger difference)

But man, for the bling factor, on a show car perhaps... hell yeah, that's cool as hell!
