Supercharger????

would a supercharger be a good idea for a 12a or 13b? if i were to get it, is there a bigger chance i could blow my motor?

In short, if you want mroe power it can do that. Also there is a greater chance of you blowing your motor. Do a search and read up, then go turbo.

Turbo's better

Personally if I were you I'd get a turbo. But that's just me.

I have to ask, how much difference did the s/c make?? There are always comments that the s/c takes up power to make power and you don't really gain that much. Please clarify from experience.

ive figured out a way to use a supercoupe supy on a blow through stock nitto carb, with only a fuel pump and regulater upgrade, and incorporating fords wonderfull boost bypass system, IVE GOT 110 at the wheels now , im calculating at 6 lbs and hoping for 50%increase, with hopefully infinite durability, what about a 20b with a LYSCHOM supercharger, oww hurts gives me chills

To clarify...
Codeblue is Dave and Im codeblue 2.

Dave offered to buy me a new car or find a Rx-7 to fix up. We went lookin and found this car. So I thank him for giving me a car that is just a blast that keeps me young.

Of course I have to give him all rights to it cause its been his money mainly that has made it thus far on the car. Not to mention all the birthday and holiday goodies that are put on the car.

Instead of perfume I prefer car stuffs.

Superchargers are a blast. Personally its all about choice. I like either Superchargers or Turbos. God forbid we all get into another arguement over which is better. I think they both have their good and bad...

Just happens to be that I like Superchargers a bit more. Though if you do go Supercharger get it from Atkins Rotary "Camdensuperchargers.com"


Take care
Its all about fun
