[Mgs] Judson Supercharger

[WSpohn4 at aol.com]

No offence meant - I understand your kit is very well engineered. There is  
nothing wrong with the Judson vane type in terms of efficiency, but you have  
vane friction to deal with and all sorts of other things that different design  
could relieve. I have also worked on Shorrock blowers and would say that they 
 are a definite step up in design and quality.
 
I don't know if you've been following a thread on the MGB site, but I gave  
you guys credit for having the ONLY bolt-on power getter that really  works.  
That is because the flow in the cast iron MGB head absolutely sucks  (no pun 
intended) and that is where any conventional tuning must start (except  everyone 
always looks to the flashy stuff like bigger carbs etc.) - EXCEPT for  the 
brute force method is shoving mixture in by force, that supercharging (or  
turbo) constitutes. It is probably the biggest increase in power per dollar you  
can find.

btw.  Comparing the efficiency of the Judson supercharger to the  Eaton
supercharger with vacuum controlled bypass as used in the Moss kit  is
like comparing a Ford 260 with a 4.6L  24V.
