     I was looking at the supercharger websites and I'm amazed at the cost.....do guys really want power that bad?
    I liked wilds comment "what funs a bolt on kit". Now I admit I'm nuts when it comes to searching for power,
I'm up into 5 figures on developing the airboat and airplane engine stuff, but I'm trying to prove a point with it and theres thousands of $$$ that would never need to be spent putting the same engine into a track/kick.
    While I really like Wild's set up, I tend yto view super/turbo charging as a little much for the average non-engine nut to bite into...but there's lots of power out there for less than the 2495.00 US that the one supercharger kit is priced at....or am I not seeing something here?

I gave some serious consideration to supercharging but after weighing up the cost/power equation I think the 2 ltr swap is a better option, for an 8V owner its a 50% power increase and a stock 2ltr should be extremely reliable, with lots of torque

Thats kinda what I thought starting getting ready the 1.6/16v in my wife for a 2.0L. It's a huge reliable power jump without stressing the engine and the bigger engine gives mountains of lower end torque.

Not quite, but you should see the sidewalls of the Toyo MT's flex.  Just like wrinkle wall Hoosiers!

P.S.
He does unload his missing links all the time though!
