Any dyno data on the Loveless supercharger? I am curious about the power curve. More low end or high end torque? Mid range? How does the engine behave at low rpm's? An inquiring mind wants to know.

No Dyno data. I am using AFR gauge getting the AFR dialed in and the 45 or 46 jets seemed pretty close. Driving wise the engine is normal when just driving low rpms you could still use in a parade. When you put your foot into the power band is across the board, it pulls all the way through. Without the SC I would climb hills in thid with the T5 transmision. Now 4th it motors up hills no bogging or downshifting. The engine is not louder, it does have intake carb sounds when getting on it. Also blower has slight blower wine sound. Nothing obnoxious.

I forgot to add it does increase operating temperature. Before super charger engine would run 140-160, which is marginally to cold in my opinion. Now with super charger engine is running 190 on 90-degree day. I have heavy duty radiator also.

Looks nice; I like it! Thanks for posting it. Where did you find the Loveless?

Never mind ---- I see the contact info in an earlier post from Terry Burtz.

Here is a few pics of the Burns linkage I used. It all bolt up to the stock pedal and return spring. Middle pic shows the brace I used to keep locked in place.

Not sure I could justify ~$3K for this.
