Re: [DMCForum] New Topic: Superchargers

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Venturi 600LM, 3.0 litre, 24v twin turbo, twin chargecooled PRV, 600bhp. 
(LeMans racer)

400bhp in production spec.

I could build one of these engines, but it'd cost!

As an engineer I don't like superchargers because they're fundamentally 
inefficient, whereas turbos are the closest thing to a free lunch, but 
more complex to do right.
