Very interesting.  I am also planning to add a Whipple supercharger to my
TEC-II contorlled engine.  Unfortunately its the opposite of the 454.  It'a a
high-reving 2.2 liter Lotus "907" engine.  I havesettled on the Whipple
becuase it is the most efficient, it is quiet, and it doesn't heat up the air
when it compresses it (or so I am lead to believe).  I would be really
interested in a what the list thinks about it and its use with the TEC-II
(Electromotive sentiments aside), ans on the high-reving 2.2 liter 4
cylinder. (mulit-port set up with individual runners and currently, 4
individual throttle plates.)

Thanks,
