| Hi all, attended the car show in Sydney today - just about every Holden there was supercharged in one form or another. Saw an interesting setup for the LS1 from Harrop. They have a new manifold that has a pulley and shaft that goes through the valley out to the back. From the back, this pulley drives a "backwards" supercharger using an idler tensioner. Very nice setup. In addition, they have a water to air intercooler setup that has a core in each half of the intake manifold, pumping out to a heat exchanger at the front of the car. Nice compact way to intercool a roots blower. What are your thoughts on such a kit? and Neil, seeing as you have done a bunch of supercharger kits, what are your thoughts on such a setup, or more specifically, do you think you could fit the cores into your intake manifold? |

| How much of a rise Neil? And what how much extra boost would you believe is reasonable possible with the addition? |

| "Power Bulge" is ok with me. No bonnet scoops or anything though, it's not a damn Holden. |
