- I want to build a streetable performance engine for my 1975 TR6. I'd love to get to 150 HP if I can get it reliably. I'm not a fan of rough idles. I've purchased a rebuilt 1976 short block - new Moss

- You have to be very careful adding a supercharger to an already prepared engine because the equivalent compression ratio increase may push the engine over the top as far as reliability is concerned.

- I agree entirely. If you raise the stock compression ratio and then add a blower (which effectively both raises the compression ratio and heats the intake air), you may well wind up with an engine t
