Supercharger?
I have a 1990 N/A and was wondering if I could centrfugal supercharge it. I reall dont want to turbo because I think they cause more reliability issues. Has anybody done this, what can In expect for power increases?

Any boost on any engine causes reliability issues. An engine will ALWAYS run longer naturally aspirated.
