Message	"how about going out there and actually doing something and showing us. It may help these people out. Tell you what, why not put together a SC setup and let us check it out. With all the popularity this is enjoying right now you should be able to find a customer willing to pay.. I have done 1 N/A motor with turbos that lasted about a year until the owner turned up the boost on his own, I have done 6 N/A to TT conversions that to my knowledge are all still running. I started a supercharger project but the customer did not want to pay and I have yet to find one willing to spend the money and be without their car for all the down time due to the custom work involved. Plus like I said most of the people I talk to about doing a supercharger...when they find out about removing the A/C(here in TX that is not an option) they decide it is not worth it.
