Reply to "Will this be Visa, or Supercharge?"

Believe it or not, I followed up on that twin supercharger set-up in the photo. Wilkenson Pantera built a few of these cars in the past. They said that there was some reliability issuses. A jackshaft has to be run to the front side of the engine, and there was some problems. The parts are no longer available either. So this option seems to be dead.

I spoke with Dennis in Colorado and inquired of the supercharger in the pics. Again, this car was a considerable expense and none of the parts (except the charger) are available and would have to be fabricated. He strongly recommended a well built normally aspirated engine.

A call was made to Kenne Bell, but they don't know if the set-up would fit under the deck lid.

I seems I may need to pass on the supercharger. In the end it would save me a considerable amount. I can see that the rarity of these cars is sometimes working against us.
