Using a roots as a centrifigal
I was just curious, I saw the Thunderbird on toohighpsi and was wondering if this is possible. Basically making brackets to put a roots supercharger (or two) on the sides of the motor, then making a plate to go onto the bottom to direct the boost to a carb bonnet or whatever (instead of mounting the carbs at the location that was originally intended on the blowers). Here are the pics that got me thinking:

Oh.... theres an idea.. a crossfire intake with a new lid.. hmmm the voices.. lollook at www.sccoa.com classifieds for used Eatons. Typically $200 will aquire one. Epray is overpriced, but once and a while get one cheap. BW
First of all, whats with the belt tension???? That aint even enough to boost up my ball sack! This radical design makes my big toe quiver as if the earth has reversed its direction of rotation. That makes my eyeballs cross and my puttananny swell up like a water soaked potatoe rubbed on a home made wash board!
