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

Maybe more that you are looking to spend, but the Moss supercharger with the big boost kit is supposed to get 150 hp: http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=47648 http://www.mo

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.

Two thoughts for you. First if you are replacing your rod bolts with ARP bolts be sure to have your rods resized at the same time this is a very important step when ever you replace your rod bolts, n

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

Hi Rick, did you swap out the diff to something more robust or are you running the TR6 OEM differential? Regards, Greg H Denton, TX Message: 11 Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:15:37 -0400 From: "Rick" <pat

Hi Randall, A very good question! If you check out the supercharger's plumbing it differs from most because the throttle plate is located at the intake manifold instead of the traditional intake boss
