 Hi - yes, I understand and now directly about increasing compression... I'm 
just sorting out options for a new friend. When I told him an engine build with 
increased compression and everything, he just about passed out. Then he asked 
if there are other options. He is not a do-it-yourself person or a fabricator - 
so this needs to be soup to nuts or bolt on. Else, we have him save $$$ and 
then build him a really sweet street engine.

The thing that is kool about modern superchargers is that they are bypassed 
until you stand on it, so very little parasitic loss when you are cruising 
around. Heck, I got close to 40 MPG in my Saturn Ion Redline and that sucker 
did naught to 60 in around 6 seconds and I had many slips of 13.9 seconds and 
104 MPH at the nearest drag strip.
Regarding turning the engine beyond 6k RPM, hopefully most of here are more 
than aware of the dangers there.
Regards,Bob Lang

You want compression, I have a head with 0.250" taken off of it. Works great. 
Just don't put cheap gas in it!!! :)

Hi,
I got a request from an acquaintance regarding supercharging a TR6. I know the 
kits haven't been available from Moss for a while, but I'm wondering if there's 
any rumors that they might become available again or if anyone in the UK / 
Europe has a kit now. A supercharger would be perfect for this dude because the 
engine is a bone stock late engine ('74) with the fairly low compression ratio.
Thanks in advance!
