I suppose it does come down to the actual use of car. I just want to make it your average showcar/stoplight racer. I think the blown h23 would look nice on the show floor because of it's difference from the usual turbo application.

Also, having driven a prelude for sometime now, I have noticed the lack of power on takeoff. I really wanted something to compensate for that, and with a supercharger (no lag, however minor it may be), I think the problem would be solved. 6 P.S.I. doesn't seem like much, but it seems that it would be enough if you built a good engine around it. Del, you have any figures for me?

Speaking of building a good engine around it, what kind of parts would you have to reinforce for the reliability? I wouldn't mind getting started on the small stuff now, and work toward it. "I have a dream..." :licker:
