No offence taken. The engineering on the Eaton blowers takes much of the
credit.
A little while ago I got to drive an M65 blown Mazda Miata. It was
pretty awesome, not really comparable to anything you can do with a
Judson or Shorrock. There was so much torque, the tires would break
loose at freeway speeds without downshifting.
