RP,
this is a sort of on-topic/off topic message.
in addition to modifying my RX-8 I am also building a 392 Hemi. In the past I have seen images of a front mounted roots blower on a small block chevy, I think it was by Moon.
My idea is to do something of the same layout but with one of your axial flow superchargers. Do you have anything that could run up to 10-12 PSI on a 392 spinning at 6k?
the build so far on the motor is
'58 300 "A" 392 block .030 over
'56 354 heads
'58 crank offset ground to accomodate Big block chevy rods
Eagle 7.25" big block chevy h-beam rods
Arias 8:1 comp custom pistons (pins moved up piston to stabilise piston for high RPM reliability.
The camshaft is undecided at this point and is dependent on the air intake method and Forced Induction vs. Normally aspirated.

initially we were going to go with some sort of screw compressor, but then I came up with the wild idea of trying to set up some sort of constantly variable drive for the compressor. So driving around town you could have low to no boost, yet if you wanted more power you could dial up the drive ratio and start running boost.

Yeah, but what would really be nice is some information from RP about the supercharger. I thought I remember reading that it was expected to be ready at seven stock, then maybe christmas. I’m not really in a hurry, I have to save the money first, but it would be nice to know how much I’m going to need to save and how much HP I will be getting.

I've got a stack of 43 - hundred dollar bills sitting here.
If Richard doesn't hurry up and offer this product -
that stack of bills may end up getting converted to
blow, crack ho's and a bulk quantity box of Depends.

No worries guys, if I know Richard he's still hard at work on this thing. Richard doesn't like to give TOO many updates as it just pulls him away from his work and leads to more speculation.
