Arrow Regarding electric superchargers (on Google):

Ignore all the ones with the squirrel cage fans.

Ignore most of the supercharger kits on eBay. They are crap. They are not made to push all that air into your intake. I would also upgrade all the ducting to take 10 to 15 psi additional pressure so nothing leaks or blows out.

What bothers me is nobody bothers to make a circuit to slow the blower down during idle and then spin up when you get the gas. I guess they don't mind running around with something that sounds like a dental drill or leave blower at high speed.

As for those geniuses that think the prop gets in the way when it is stopped, that is what happens when you put those stationary vanes in the intake. Mainly, nothing.

Below is a Thomas Knight electric super install on a import. See it on the third post on Google. Goes about $1300. Has layaway and Paypal and great reviews from a few groups.

On the Stacker ignition add-on,if anyone has done it on a Rover, lets hear from you. Inquiring minds (and sheep) want to know.
