Supercharger on an Baja?


Hey Everyone.

Was wondering if anyone runs a blower on their Baja or Buggy? I was thinking of doing this to my 67 Baja and was chasing people's thoughts and ideas? Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

There was a bloke in Bundaberg who ran a Toyota Blower on his manx. Would be good for offroading with boost coming on almost straight away

I have seen Joel's thread and spoken to him about superchargers. I was more asking for positives and negatives for an offroad specific application.

So far I have a few.
- More torque down low in the revs
- Carby and air cleaner will be higher when mounted on top of the blower
- The noise!!
