I have always liked the idee of a supercharger on n 4x4, as the power come's in smooth.

I did not find the chart on the site.
If you say smooth, is the extra power across the rev range?

Alex

yes a supercharger works off the crank pully, therefore it starts working as soon as the motor runs, unlike a turbo that needs exhaust gasses to spool it up, normally at 2000rpm.

Some say that he can build a 4.2TD engine into a hand grenade Patrol in his sleep
and that he can supercharge a car by blowing into the exhaust
All we know is that he is called Tour de Frans

Thanks Stefan - I'd spotted his name in more than a few of the discussions on the forum...

In other news still haven't fitted your old tire yet - had to go back to work. Hoping to fit on my return.
