Which is ironic, since it's reputedly easy to get that much using the
ordinary (and less expensive) mods : camshaft, compression & breathing. Kas
Kastner claimed he could get more power with the ZS carbs than with the
Lucas PI.
I have theoretically (by calculation versus actual dyno) obtained at least
that much horsepower following Kas Kastner's race prep guidelines for cylinder
head prep, etc; advice from Richard Good from Goodparts on camshaft/rockers,
advice from Dick Stockton on carb tuning, ignition.......all from using a
triple ZS carb setup with B1E Jag needles.
I've seen the Moss supercharger installed on a TR6 - it looks pretty slick
and I'm told it runs very well and I suspect that it wasn't as difficult to
"dial -in" as my setup was. The supercharger wasn't available in 2002 when
the
bulk of my engine work was done as part of the restoration so I can't speak
to cost comparisons but, from what I've read and seen, the supercharger kit
seems to be a very nice power adder. One thing that appears to be evident
with the supercharger is that the engine note in the exhaust isn't as "TR6"
like
as stock or modified TR6's....it sounds more "modern" - don't know how else
to explain it!
