      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        • Because I know a thing or two about the space constraints of that particular car ( ), I think it would be less of a frustration to go with a centrifugal type supercharger... Vortech, or Rotrex if you have the $$$. Then run methanol injection rather than a intercooler. This way you'd be able to keep everything under the hood, as opposed to cutting a hole in the hood for the 'Subaru' type intercooler.

          But then again, I never thought a V6 would fit in there either...

                • ehh superchargers are less efficient... they take hp before they make it.therefore more pressure is needed for the same hp results.. though a supercharger would be interesting good luck with the build i will be watching

                  • Rear turbo sounds pretty logical here. You have no room under the hood and you can chill the intake charge on the way up front. Plus you wont have to worry about a fancy exhaust setup up front.

                    • Not to worry guys, I will not be cutting any holes in the hood, ever, basically whatever I do the cars outer appearance will not change

                      But sorry I won't be supercharging it, turbo all the way

                              • I know that first hand, being the only person to twincharge the KL motor..... but to save complexity, just go turbo, and that lag just might save the tires some, not that you really can save them once your turbo
