Parnelli Jones S/C?
I saw a PJ Saleen for sale at performance autosport and it got me thinking. Could you supercharge the PJ and get a lot more HP out of it? I mean...it's 400 N/A right now....so I was wondering if you could just drop in a supercharger with a small pulley and put down 500 or so....
Is it blasphemy to even THINK of doing that? I know it's a limited edition 1 of 500 blah blah blah, but it could be a beast with a supercharger and might give the E a run for its money...

RE: Parnelli Jones S/C?
I wouldn't take that bet - i've heard that from a reputable source 
However the PJ engine has a high compression so SC'ing an actual PJ might be risky. I think we are going to see a more tamely compressed 302 soon that will be thirsting for some boost

It's a thread I started before I got the PJ (think back to pre Nov 2006.....) The group decided it probably wasn't a good idea with the high compression of the 302. There may me another alternative in a slightly detuned version as others have noted.
Search is good
