David, thanks! very interesting what you had to say. kinda what i'm looking for, information or where to find it. i'll be on that turbo forum. i have a roots engine but i would just like to play with something else. i had a chance to pick up a belt driven vane type supercharger (Paxton style) at a local swap meet. but past it by as like the turbo i don't know much about them and it was used. not that I'm opposed to buying something used i just didn't want something that i couldn't get parts for. another problem is the drive end with the belts i'm short on room in the 31 i allready stretched the engine compartment 3" to get the 270 in. something belt driven will add 2-3 inches or more. i just like the idea of the turbo because its only one throttle linkage, one carburetor, simple exhaust, no belts
