Message	I was watching some stupid discovery channel crap and they mentioned the obvious that: since SC's are belt driven they actually take power away from the engine (they noted that it takes 300hp to power a SC that will make the engine put out 1000hp) Do TT's create any parasitic loss like that or does the back pressure help at all (maybe torque?) I was just wondering *****Disclaimer - My spelling is horrific! i appologise in advance :)****** -RickyTL (MA)-
