Mr. Norm Kraus became famous across America promoting their Grand Spaulding Specials in performance car magazines. With insurance premiums squeezing big block performance cars, Mr. Norm adapted by offering special Dodge Demon 340’s. For ‘72 they bolted a low-profile Paxton supercharger that boosted the engine to 360 horsepower creating a 13 second stoplight rocket on stock tires.
