    It's all about gearing. It'll work. I just have to gear it right. Again, I'm only going for 5 PSI.
    90% of teens say "oh shit" before a wreck. The other 10% are from Pennsylvania, they say " hold my beer and watch this shit."

    It's not like when your engine is at 4000RPM's your Supercharger is at 4000RPM's.

    hes correct the magic of the centrifigal super charger is in the gearing...its all in the gears.it takes the right gear ratio to get the correct rpm in the supercharger from the engine to make any real boost.and its all inside the blower.you might need a broken or dummy supercharger to make one. a turbo looks like a a few fins on intake and exaust side...while on the on the other hand the supercharger looks the same but deep inside it is a maze in comparison the (super charger being more complex), big gears, little gears to make 2500 rpms turn into 50000 or 150000 rpms..... or is it bearing size wait gearing ..good luck
