Is it worth fitting a super charger to a 1275 engine? i was thing of building a 1275 with a lightened flywheel, kent 276 cam etc etc and then fitting a super charger?
What kind of power gains can i expect to see? or has anyone else on here done one before?
Super charger, is it worth it??

IMO it definatley is, hopefully depending on what my insurance company has to say i shall be doing the supercharger conversion early next year, its a little more complex than just throwing a few bits together though, the head has to have the right cc otherwise the compression ratio goes through the roof, but i think the cam doesnt really matter as long as its not stupid, well thats what i learned from Vmax Scart
expect an EASY 40bhp at the flywheel, without changing pulleys to uprate the pressure

Or you can buy the kit which was actually designed for the A series instead of for the Chrysler engine and comes with a much more efficient blower. You can see between a 40% and 60% increase with a supercharger easily as long as you build the engine properly in the first place. Very good bang-per-buck upgrade.

Or you could Turbocharge it for far less than any of these supercharger kits cost ......

i just prefer the supercharger conversion, ok it costs more, but its a much more unusual engine performance upgrade, theres far more Mini turbos than supercharged ones
anyone read the review in minimag of the twin engined supercharged drag racer, i remember seeing it do the 1/4 before the transformation into its current state and remember thinking it was goddamn quick, now theyve just gone loony
