Default supercharged 290 boss

hi,
ive recently purchased a super persuit.im going to get an upgrade kit which includes extractors,twin exhuast,cold air intake and a smaller pully which should give me about 360kw.from what people tell me,these are pretty standard mods for this car.im also thinking about fitting a supercharger,but i dont know a thing about them.(i dont know anything about cars in general).i would be happy to hear from anyone who knows the do's and don'ts about enhancing an engine like this.
cheers.

Hi Kaneo,

I'm not sure if you are the same guy that is test driving our supercharged boss 290 on Thursday but im sure you will like what you see hear and feel.
If you are not the guy that has booked in be sure not to miss out or book a test drive some time.
The M122 Hybrid charger gives you the best output per pound of boost under 15psi range with boosted fuel economy to boot.

see: http://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/Superc...4-eb-au-v8.htm

Call Terry for more info.

Barry.
