So the standard ECU is not mappable? Didn't really want to go to the extreme of an aftermarket ECU.

If you convert to a programmable ECU like Megasquirt or Omex and play around with the fueling / ignition timing you can normally get a fair bit extra without significantly altering the engines mechanics.

ive been looking into superchargers, they are better at the lower rev range and dont suffer from lag. i had settled on a eaton m24, a roots type blower. i also spent a lot of time wondering if i would need all that extra power.......

rotrex are good for the top mid to top of the rev range, for me I wanted the low end, slow speed but with lots of torque, the roots system fitted the bill.

I see your point, as a Rotrex is like a mechanically driven turbo, right? :-)
