Ah ha! That's the book I kept forgetting about...
Under my tree lay Street Supercharging (2nd Edt.) by Pat Ganahl... time to
seriously get the Super6 up and running now. Seems Toyota got the Eaton M62
blower (one I'm using) to produce 62% more power on their pickups... nice
increase for a Roots blower. I finally got a bit more indepth look at camshaft
theory (in relation to forced induction) and header information, so I can get my
camshaft specs off to Steve @ Integral Cams and have him do the grind I want.
I'll probably go with the Kirk Racing header for the TR6 now also as it is the
header with the biggest pipes.
And like Dick said, now it's time to re-read everything in more depth! Dick,
does the Hammill SU book cover the 2" SUs?
