There was a centrifugal style Supercharger at the Zoom-Fest swap meet last year. Maybe it will be there again, or some other form of forced induction.
If you are going to do it at least do it right and get a BDS on that thing. Very doable There is NO form of CHEAP forced induction. If you try to be frugal it will bite you square in the *** as some already know.

with superchargers, it takes power to make power. turbo is free power, although it may be alittle more costly.

Ok, I'm stoopid, whats a BDS?

Also, no forced induction is "free". The turbo feeds off of exhaust
pressure and the SC is fed directly from the crank. Either one
chews up hp to make it work.

Anyway I l;ike the idea of doing a ghetto SC using cheap OTS parts.

Don't forget Robby and AmyI knew you would cave in under pressure Exit 2 in NC has a large pull off area on the entry ramp that we could use. Or there is the SC welcome center. Those are the 2 I can think of that are directly off of 85.

Theres a rest area at mile marker 2, we could look for you there if you want. We
would probbably hit it around 5 or 5:30. I'd like to get to RA before sunset to break
camp and all.

Will the little miatas make it in time? I guess we'll just play it by ear.

Something like this. A different shade of orange though, and a bigger top section of black. On either the FB or FD.

Speaking of which, that first vid Stu posted was a nitrous explosion. Can we see it from a different angle?

Sure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sYApXA1wd4
