I remember the graphs posted a while back... and the torque is nice and flat, and the power is all a lot earlier than standard S2k power. 
 
 
how can you generalise and say a supercharger gives  "X"  amount? 
surely it will depend on the set-up? how much boost etc.

not from me - its from a mate!!! 
 
Has he got a big enough plenum LOL! Looks like a proper weapon that does. How come they didn't stick another H22A lump back in? Would have got the same power. Or did they have the B series one and the bodies lying about?
