Listers,
Truly, there's no end to the search for ways to put more hp in a Spitfire
(and/or melt the pistons), but, here's one that's new to me. A visit to this
site:
http://www.turbo-zet.com/.
will introduce you to the wonders of the Electronic Turbocharger. Believe me,
I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in this puppy, but, I would be
interested to hear the lister's comments.
The Turbo-Zet is driven off the electrical system (time for that Chevy
alternator) and modulated by sensors and micro-processors and promises 25%+
power gains at low cost. My feeling is that if it did work, it wouldn't last
long, but, who knows? It's a new millenium (Ok, it isn't, but you know what I
mean...).
