Tech Info!!!
There has been quite a bit of discussion on charging (Super and Turbo) motors. i thought some of you guys would apperciate a little info on supercharging i had researched. here are a couple of links http://www.automotive.eaton.com/pro...hargers/M90.asp

follow them up and down through the sites and With a little info and reading you can begin to understand that there is a lot more to determining power output than just the PSI of the inlet. correct sizing of the unit, speeds and temperatures, as well as the style of the blower can have a large effect on the final power output.
I am looking at supercharging my 540 in the future, looking to put 400hp+ at the fly wheel for stage one (no engine rebuild) and then looking to high 400s after a rebuild in the future. research can make you a lot of 'free' horsepower when you comapre different units and their opperation. it is all a case of priorities. where and when do you want the power.
After owning and building a 12 sec 1/4 mile Turbo Rotary street car that was doing 1000+ km/week on LPG (liquid petrolium gas) and costing $40 a week to run, the beamer is a luxury ride that is a project waiting to happen.
