Patriot,

Thanks... I've researched superchargers a little and read about theory and how they work, different "types" etc. It sounds like the roots type (Eaton) is a good choice because it is effective at lower rpm ranges than some other types. I now understand what an intercooler (or aftercooler) does... but one thing I'm not sure about is what "more power under the curve" actually means.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, if a supercharger requires using premium fuel instead of regular that's about a 13% increase just in fuel costs (or roughly about $200 more per year).

Rambling on like a mad man...
