Neither.
Supercharging is great- It would be neat to waste ZO6's and Vipers, and I'm sure I'd enjoy the rush of lagavulin's 600 hp, but really, my S2 is fast enough.
-No matter what you do, someone always has something faster. Just ask my boss, Connie Kalitta.
Andy's twin-screw would be my favorite of the two, since it has off the line torque, which is what these cars need more than anything else.
-I'm going to spend my 928 budget this year on a good drivers course, and if I upgrade to Captain and/or work a lot of overtime...I might buy a serious paint job.
B safe-
N!

I personally like the idea of using a Eaton blower which was designed to be used on a production car and had to pass all the smog tests for 60,000 miles . Additionaly it is designed with an internal bypass valve so under normal driving the blower is not working hard at all , little power is being wasted and it is quiet , very quiet . Now if I post enough "nice things" maybe I can get Andy to start working on bolting one on MY very brown 1980 . I really just think it is great that there ARE various options available .

Jim,
I am going to go out on a limb here and say we'll get started within 2 weeks. I just need to get all the parts finished and shipped out to the folks that want them. I'll give you a call or come by tomorrow.

The other good thing about Tim's kit, is that it is not too hard to remove it, to pass an inspection...
It all depends how often they check you car.
But I think it would not be too hard to remove it.
Just keep all your old stuff in a box somewhere.

Hi,
in germany you have a big technical inspection by the officials of the "Technischer Überwachungsverein" (TÜV) every two years.
These guys are quite good in finding technical failures and modifications.
But they don't look under the hood very often.
The german police is a different story, there is a task force in the munich area only specialized in engine controlling. If these guys catch you, you are going home by feet, when they find such major modifications as a SC installation, that isn't signed in the car papers.
Well, but no risk no fun I would say. I don'drive 170mph on the autobahn very often, I want the best possible accelaration for my shark.
Greetings
Stefan
