[V8] v8 supercharger

[William Gutierrez]

I don't know, Justin.  If you look at what companies like Kleeman are doing 
with Mercedes using Autorotor superchargers and laminova intercoolers, I'm 
convinced they are the way to go.  Last I saw, Kleeman was getting over 
550HP at the wheels of a 5 liter mercedes without any internal modifications 
to the engine--not even to reduce compression.  I'll bet a 4.2 Audi engine 
would be good for at least 450 at the wheels with a similar set up.  I've 
tried to convince Keith to pursue that route, alas, his plate is full.  :-(

With how many cars and SUVs are using Audi 4.2 engines are around right now, 
it has to be getting close to a workable option to design a set up, 
unfortunately, I have neither the skills, nor the time to pursue it.  I hope 
someone else does, though.

Cheers.
