Jonathan,
Supercharging is a long-term goal for my TR6.  To me, the idea of a true bolt
on performance kit is quite appealing.  Someone told me that the supercharger
manufacturer and the TR6 owner in the article (both names escape me now) were
going to offer the upgrade in kit form for around $1500.  Maybe someone else
on the list would have more info.
What excites me most is the fact that the TR6 in the article was a 75 with a
bone stock engine.  With the supercharger alone I believe it was producing 190
bhp!  I have a spare TR250 engine just waiting to be rebuilt.   With a free
flow exhaust AND a supercharger on a high compression engine, after balancing
and port matching I may be able to keep up with Dan Masters'  302 powered
TRMonster!

Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
