    Default supercharged rb30

    found this intresting piece of info before..

    The Castlemaine Rod Shop Supercharger Kits

    i didnt know that these were available as an off the shelf kit..from the dyno sheet they go allright tho..a bit of a change seeing a vl with a supercharger
    the germans designed it, the aussies built it, the japs got it moving and the wogs got it dosing...

    personally i would rather supercharge an rb30 rather than turbo...even tho i would probably get less overall power, its just the turbo rb30 has been done to death!!...i haven't seen a street commodore magazine without a calais turbo in it.

    plus supercharges = nicer sounding and instant torque.
