HEY GANG:



Hey, I got a line on an intercooler I'd like to rig up for the eaton based

blowers. BUT.....



What kind of effciency do you all think I can achieve with a roots type

blower vs the success of the autorotor's compressor (right?)?



I think the driveability factor is naysaying myself. I talked with Jim and

he mentioned that Peter Farrell pulled the intercooler of their Miata

because it "had lost its driveability and didn't make any real gains." BUT

I think if you twisted the body and suspension and put what 225+ tires on

the thing......geez.....what is driveable and what kind of rolling

ressitance are we talking here? Not to mention the added weight of all that

gadgetry.



If we took that same intercooler and put it into your average s/c eaton

miata at 8psi....we'd see some good results?



I'm about to take the R&D plunge......what do you all think?
