You need to sell the "supercharger."

x10000 Ditch the blower, you will get as much power from a good tune. These arent forced air inducted engines, all the blower will do it lean it out too much and kill the lifespan considerably.

I run the OS 18 TM and its walked all over any 3.3 Ive come up against.

I'm running a modified 3.3 and love it other than the rear bearing problems that 3.3's have. I just bought a new set of ceramic bearings to take care of that though. I generally smoke the 18tm's on the straight but gearing has a lot to do with this too.

I don't know,but my guess is no. The only thing modded on my 3.3 is the crank,which I done based on a crank that I bought from E-bay. It's like it has no upper RPM limit when you rev it with the tires off the ground. It's pretty wicked!
