T3: Re: improving engine acceleration and power

[mikey <progeny@crosslink.net>]

Because the Super Charger is belt driven, I don't think it would work on our
engines (don't hold me to that...but I saw the same article and was thinking
about it.)  I have, however seen a Turbo Squareback...so I know that can be
done...but keep in mind, you'd have to build a really strong motor to handle
that...
And, on the Corvair note...having a friend that has one...and the trouble he
has...I'd rather go slow :)
