Anyone ever run Blackhawks on their Velocity?

Just wondering how well the Blackhawk drives would have worked on the Velocities... Which money would improve performance more the 12-14k converting from Bravos to Blackhawks or 14k of engine upgrades? Crazy it might work or the more common plain crazy?

I'm thinking the Blackhawks are only good to around 500-550HP? Bravo one upper and a Bravo 3 lower

As I recall there was little or no gain in handling or speed when Blackhawks were tried on the 26/280. I don't think I have ever heard of them being tried on a 32. As mentioned, Steve will know.
