Dave,
I know you didn't ask me specifically so please delete this if I've
insinuated myself into your conversation with Chip.
I have a supercharged Tr6. The exhaust note is not affected by the
supercharger at all. There is no whine at idle and none when cruising unless
I get
on the throttle. At that point there is a loud whine that sounds like the
cops are chasing me. I looked for years at different ways to improve
performance. Over the years I tried head porting and polishing, higher
compression,
larger pistons, a free flow exhaust and triple Weber carbs. None of these
mods
came close to giving me what I hoped to get.
Then came the supercharger, EFI and electronic ignition. I now have
148hp(about 6lbs of boost) at the rear wheels which is somewhere near 185 at
the
motor. While still not as fast as most modern cars, my 6 feels like it is on
steroids rather than Quaaludes. I hope to increase the boost to about 10lbs in
the future.
Regards,
Jamie Maddox
