Daniel,
Somewhere I have some Judson literature that claims a HP increase from the
stock 43 HP to something like 74 HP with no other mods.
I've got a Judson on a Bugeye 948 that I've never run... (it was in a rust
bucket that also yielded a factory hardtop). I think if I was to run it on a
fresh 948, I'd start with a nitrided crank, and have Venolia forge up some
pistons in the proper low compression. Slap on a 295 casting head, a decent
header... and you've got a vintage road rocket.

The problem is that neither the Shorrock or Judson like high rpm and
ultimately that restricts the amount of power that can be developed.
However,
for a fast road Spridget a well put together blown 948 ought to give a 286
cammed well put together 1275 a run for its money. The 948 would benefit
from
a decent head job, mild cam (has to be for the blower to work effectively)
and
stuff like that.
