I wonder how they do it. I have a supercharger on the shelf, just need the V8!!

Spot the difference....

Well!!
I think I will dust off the supercharger!(never let reality interfere with your planning!)

What can you get out at the other end, and what needs to be done to the engine internally?

Mine was on the rolling road at 413.5PS and 437lb/ft of torque. So I was told the Dreadnought conversions come out between 385-415PS depending on the crank setting. Oh and it's defineately worth the money, if only to see the look on those BMW drivers faces as you leave em at the lights
