I have two answers. I would say for a long stroke, low reving,
high torque motor like the 7A, supercharger. Higher reving,shorter stroke 3s, Turbo. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

Higher reving,shorter stroke 3s, Turbo. Actually, you want to be careful using any forced induction on a longer stroke/longer rod motor. You're slinging around more weight, and torsional effects on the crankshaft are dramatically increased. Had a LONG conversation with my engine builder about my 383 going into my Trans Am, the debate being whether to go with a 5.7" or a 6" rod with the 3.75" stroke crank. In the end it was deemed that the shorter rod would yeild the best compromise over it's strength and reliability with the longer stroke. Not that this really applies that much to engines as small as ours. Just food for thought. --------------------  |
