yeah but look who is selling it lol
In my experience Real Steel are pretty well respected certainly I have had very good service from them and find their prices good. Are you thinking of RPI by any chance??
Best regards

hi tom yes i'm very keen on going bigger,, i'm pretty suprised wiv performance now from a 3.5 wiv blower,, have u had a dyno with the 4.6 hp torque?? who dun the work on your block,, deciding which way to go about it?!?
I too was happy with my 3.5, was only getting 2.5-3psi boost and was still a big improvement. I used the original v-pulley crank and I came to the conclusion that I was getting lots of belt slip which was limitting my boost. I was looking for an uprgade to change the pulley system to a polly vee set up of the newer engines somehow I also brought a 4.6 engine!
The 4.6 isn't running yet. Hopefully in the next week or two although i've been saying that for 6 months!
Chesmen engineering in coventry did the top hat liner job for me.
What supercharger are you using with your 3.5? How much boost is it running at?
Tom.
