Default Supercharger

Where does a supercharger get its power from and how does it transfer it to your engine?

are you serious?

if so, its powered off the engines crank and adds hp by forcing more air into the motor then it needs creating boost. higher cylinder pressure = more hp

Think of it as a air pump forcing the air into the engine. It'll make more sense.

Its like an air compressor sitting on top of the engine which creates hp, lots of it

first of you have to buy a couple of quarts of comression from your local autozone.you pour that in your oil,gas,and in the supercharger itself.Then the supercharger sprays all that in the engine and that's how it makes power.You can also mount it for the front wheels and leeve the rear ones to be mooved just by the engine and the front ones by the supercharger.4 driving wheels more power.....a must when you have a supercharger...if you don't have built motor,you have to get the smallest size pulley that comes with the kit....and don't use intercooler...just adds weight...but basicly that's about it!good luck glad I could help.post some pix when you install it

I personally prefer to mix a little bit cheetah blood in with the compression cocktail myself. I mean, it costs a little bit more, but its worth every penny.

well since the cheetah blood costs a lot of money(at SAM'S) I also would consider the solar powered one really eco friendly,they mount the solar panels in place of your hood scoop....it works with the shaker system also
