supercharged 1641 or 1776?
hey. i am wondering what would be the better option both pricewise and performance wise. to build a supercharged 1641 with standard head.etc or to
build a 1776 with new performance heads .etc. and what will the price difference be?.

i think either is going to cost you dollars, but some things to think about are a) you are up for the price of a new piston and cylinder set anyway so
bigger is always better for performance, more ccs equals more power at less revolutions equals less work by motor equals longer life. 1776 will mean
machine work on your case but you should probably get it cleaned and crack tested anyway so why not machined at the same time. 1776 will mean twin
carbies which is probably about the same dollars as single and supercharger for 1641. 1776 is a proven performance combo used by many where as
supercharged 1641 is a bit more exotic. wealth of info available on 1776 and a more straight forward approach i would think. if you want outright
performance maybe you should consider 1916.

Why is it that the yanks who have exposure to some of the performance parts available and have been doing it for longer, never seem to use the 1916
combo

They Do......
Heaps of them use the 1916 combo.....
You have to remember that stroker cranks etc are cheap over there and the options available are far wider for $$$$$ spent.
You will find that they actually turbo alot of 1916cc engines, as it works out cheaper as they do not have do spend the money on the heads/crank/
carbs and the things do 12 second 1/4, which is not easy to achieve simply by going bigger.
Here is a pic of Jim's 1916...standard 044's 40x35 and 7.2:1 comp....does 12.05 for the 1/4 and pops wheelies.

Why do Yanks do a lot of stupid things????
Have Yanks ever lead in technology? Nup.
Maybe us Aussies actually have it right.

All you have to do is go to www. lowbugget.com
See the bolt on kit that A.J simms has for 1600's and copy the specs by just buying it here.
Also use a standard header with a single pipe straight to the turbo, a side draught 40mm dcoe and a t2 or a t3 depending on the AR #.
If you have a friend who does exhausts...it will be cheap, if you do not it still wont cost that much.
