I bought an inlet manifold from a14 force, got a tour of his projects and went for a ride in his car. It's got a 1500 with a supercharger - I'm sure he can describe it better than me. In a ten-minute trip 'round the block I became a convert to forced induction. Neck-dislocating acceleration and white knuckles! If he offers you a lift, take your heart pills, then call the chiropractor.

You're on Chris!
You'll have to come down for the SFoS sooner or later.

I have to agree, I spent about ten seconds driving a turboed A series at full boost, that was all I had the courage for, it was a real handfull.

im not trying to be negative but realistic...

what kind of forced induct a series are you riding in??? anything under 170hp at the treads is quite tame and well mannered and there probably isnt but a handfull of those in the country at best.

having said that the feeling of it coming on boost really is enjoyable... everyday!!

you can get in trouble in a standard 1200 if your going too fast for a corner etc. that is not what i am talking about. below that power it is not really a speed that catches you out. that is what gets you in trouble. in a powerful car you can get to speed in a short space and if you are not preparedfor this watch out. those with the power know what i am talking about. as far as sideways is concerned... it is easier but still required alot of rpm and a good clutch kick to step it out.

Supercharged engines are VERY different to turbo motors. With a hair dryer you boot it, then a few seconds later you get a push in the back. Supercharged motors are on full boost the instant WOT is acheived. Torque is LOTS of fun.
