Supercharge a 12a?

Saw a kit, intake mani, SC and a Holley to sit on top of it. Read a lot about turbos on our rotaries but how about superchargers?

This might not be a very helpful response, but the Wankel's hot, intense exhaust gasses make it uniquely well-suited for turbocharging. If you supercharge, you are leaving free horsepower and efficiency on the table.

Atkins used to make a kit, not sure if they still do or not.. I almost went with a supercharger setup but after hitting boost with a turbo for the first time I'm glad I decided to go turbo +1/\. If u truely desire a supercharger I think there are a few others out there. I know there is a guy on here that was using a centrifugal one too like a procharger.. Not sure if he ever finished it... Good luck to u. I'll try to search for that thread for ya...
