Forced Induction for Noobs...

when watching the video one page back here's a word of caution, that video is full of 1990's logic and a few general misconceptions so really just use it as a basic grounds if you will but a lot of it is wrong. "centrifugal superchargers are installed on stock engines because they don't make as much boost" <-bs centrifugal superchargers are installed on stock engines because they are cheaper, easier to integrate into modern engine controls(good luck getting positive displacement to work with your vvel), do not require a different manifold, and can easily be installed ahead of a throttle body( cant do this with positive displacement unless you wanna try tuning your car to idle while getting full boost lol). "centrifugals produce the least boost" <- the mans never seen any of the vortech units over the v-4 or any of the other companies huge units.

Edit i could keep going all day here but you get the point.
