Taylor,

I've got a spare 12a lying around. I'm pretty sure it's totally forked, but since I haven't been able to take it apart, I don't know. If you want to tear into it and see if there's anything useful, it's yours.

Jon

Buddy of mine just did a half-bridge 12A Supercharged.

Primaries were bridged. Secondaries didnt have enough material to bridge because the Street Port was 'Too Big' - if such a thing exsists.

It sounds awesome, but performance is yet to come. Hes yet to break it in and the supercharger is in dire need of replacement.

Should be a very nice engine when its done. I look forward to seeing the dyno numbers. What kind of induction system are you going to use? Custom EFI or carb?

CARBS ARE KOOL!!!!



Judging by the used rotor housing(s), I dont forsee EFI in the immediate future of this engine.
