I've shoveled plenty of your 'winter fun' over the years. It's just over 79 degrees outside right now, so I'm gonna go out and play.

10:1 compression is right in the middle of the optimum range for supercharging. Less compression for turbos, but I dislike the lag and all the extra plumbing, as well as the heat-generated wear caused by the exhaust gases.

I'm working on planning my next engine, and a supercharged B20 sounds like just the ticket. Unless I go with a Northstar V6...
