RE: SuperCharging a '97 V6?

Still working on the final "schematics" for the V6 and a Paxton (or
PowerDyne). It's a Price Thing right now though....

I currently DO use the E-Ram (electric "supercharger") and it works GREAT!
I wouldn't really call it a supercharger but more like a "On Demand
RAM-Air". Since Ram-Air doesn't effectively work until about 80mph, the
E-Ram works when I put the throttle at Wide-Open...at any speed. (YES,
there is a slight rush of power as well...nothing like a real supercharger
though.)

I'll let you all know what happens with the Paxton or Powerdyne supercharger
for the V6's.

Hi all,

So, I've seen messages from several folks (Bernd?) about a 'charger for
the Magnum V6 engine. Is there any truth behind this? I'd love to put
even a lower-PSI huffer on the truck to increase the low-end-to-mid
grunt.

I saw the thread on the electro-charger, but I'd like to see more than 1
psi and I'd like to see the hp gain at all points instead of only WOT.

Thanks
Kurt
