well a few things in life out of our control have restricted us from spending too much time on Bens supercharged bug in preparation for Warwick VW Drags ..... however Ben removed the cylinder heads & I machined a .035" recess into the heads to make a spigot to locate the head gaskets to stop them from moving .
For Warwick we will change the crank pulley to a smaller one so that the blower is 20% overdriven instead of 50% overdriven as it is now .
Bens bug will go back on the dyno for a short session on Monday night to check the tune and will be ready for action .... hoping for a 5 second pass from Ben this year at Warwick .....

Bens engine start after the current engine work https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=568492743216052&set=vb.1000016599340...

Ben and Wayne, I wrote a "love declaration" on Superchargers in UAC forums.
I did not ask prior, but I used your car and video as best example why I like the SC grunt.
UAC thread here.

Ben Ford installs a smaller crank pulley onto his engine to drive the supercharger slower to make his bug more manageable for his 4th pass @ Warwick

Just bought this from RBS superchargers in California for my new Autorotor project. Not expensive and easy replacable, if things get lean.
