i didn't know squat! but i'm learning
ok ok so yea i know a few things. and im the guy that can get any tsb or workshop pdf . but answer me this. why has no one come up with a supercharger yet that just replaces the manifold. Iti just looks so much cleaner. if i were to do this. It would be the one i would have. i am not into all the piping and stuff.

Afixer...
If nobody has that -- you need to run to the Patent office and claim the idea.... then when someone does make one they have to pay you!
Or... hook up with some engineers and develop one!... THAT's the Ticket!

The X-Charger will be a twin screw that sits on top of the manifold (replaces the stock manifold). That's what I like about it, clean and simple! No plumbing at all other than reworking the intake. Plus it has that traditional supercharger look. I want one!

RE: i dont know squat!
That's really the main disadvantage, it's not a super-powerful setup. Certainly for dragracing the centrifugals are the way to go. But the Ranger and Explorer guys seem to like their X-Charger setups a lot, and reports are that they get nearly full boost at just over 2000 RPM. So for a street application, it seems to give a lot of low end grunt. It sounds like the Powerhouse turbo may be the same way, but of course there's a lot of plumbing involved with that setup.

RE: i dont know squat!
yep thats the one im waiting for. not to big not to small J u s t R i g h t! it just looks so much more stock. not to bash any of the others msp or flap and such but, old school guy here i like the retro looks and that looks like it belongs on my car! and as far as power. not a big dragster but .... well lets just leave it at that.
