Back to naturally aspirated....
..temporarily at least . I took the car in to get the rear seal replaced (oil leak) ,and the superchargers bearings were making noises.So the blower is off to Kansas for a re-build..
 . I have a programmable DFI ,so the engine can be easily tuned for running without the blower. I miss the 100+ horsepower though...I cheered myself up by ordering some new seats,Cobra Daytona's . The original seats have over 180,000 kms of wear , and are looking rather tired... The supercharger re-build is covered under warranty,but this hobby is still a money pit !!

But at least you cut a cool profile Alan.

With the supercharger ,she dyno'd at 357 hp / 383 lb torque
at the rear wheels .That's about 410 hp / 440 lbs tq at the crank. Without I'm not sure .It's approximately 275 hp / 325 lb tq at the crankshaft . Still not too shabby...

try downloading a calculator to see how many percentage you are optimizing your supercharged engine. Great program...really helps a lot to get the right setup
