    HP claims are something to be desired...but its neat anyway. Iron head supercharged in a FWD application.

      Cool. Too bad it is no good for you genII and III guys. I perfer the Fageol charger better. Seems to have a much smaller profile.

      And I agree his horespower claims are bullshit. Maybe if he is running at 9000rpm on alcohol or something.

          yeah it doesnt even have a coolent tank... i would believe it if i saw some #'s or a video... but right now... i dont know that i believe it... if he did what he claims... he will be very popular with people wanting the recipe.

            Huh cams eh??

            Also a "switch" chanegs his boost. Now how exactly does that work....?

            Also I think 405 might be a little bit generous....depending on what else he has of course.

            It seems to me that very little of his belt is in contact with the blower pulley, I wonder if he has any problems with slipping. We have a small block chevy with a blower on it, and it was slipping the belt a little before we changed to a 10-rib, and it is contacting way more than that one is.[/quote]

              Yea I thought that too after a second look. I think this guy is a little bit of a bullshitter. Just like a ricer.

                "DaveFromColorado" on the W-body board posted this about being able to change boost levels with a switch.

                "it's a design by dimler which uses a planetary set to select the impellor speeds."
