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?

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.

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.

Give Frans a call when you're back, he isn't far from you.
