It looks cool. I'd be interested to see some actual measurements though. HP
on a dyno or at least a 1/4 mile time. I thought about doing the same thing
to my TR-6 PI engine. I even contacted an Eaton distributor. When I told
him it was for a TR-6 he told me their superchargers were designed for fuel
injected applications only (he assumed that all TR-6s used carbs). While
that wasn't a problem for me (didn't seem to stop Dr. Formice eaither!), I
did have another problem. I'm running 10:1 compression which means I can't
really use any additional boost (not that I really need it). Since I
already have a fast TR-6 (headers, cam, etc.) it didn't make sense for me
to lower my compression ratio just to add a supercharger.
Now my friend Randell is another story. I'm trying to convince him to blow
his TR-6 once he's done with his SD-1 restoration. ;{)
