I cringe at the thought of all the fuel drop out.

I'm with you, but note that the VPD supercharger system normally uses a pull-through carb and a water intercooler, and makes scads of power, a much larger increase than the non-intercooled Moss Motors blowers for old Brit cars. I have a friend who set up a VPD kit using a throttle body and injectors in the head (with MegaSquirt), so he's not getting any fuel drop out. I expected this to make more power yet, or at least get better fuel economy, but it doesn't seem to be much different. So maybe fuel drop out isn't really as much of a problem as we both suspect.
