How would you supercharge a Vincent?

Turbo Technology

Hi Norm,
Turbo technology has moved on greatly, to the extent that you can get kits for V twins. They rely on variable vane technology for both the exhaust turbine and the inlet impeller, to the extent that you will get virtually no lag, and with a mild 8-10 PSI of boost, you could easily double a Shadow's BHP.
Admitidlly the plumbing would be a pain, but as the great drag racing gods say "Horsepower Costs"

Horsepower costs

As The Horsepower Whisperer would say, "Speed is just a question of how much you wanna pay..."

I currently favour a small supercharger plumbed in behind the engine, a bit like Super Nero but less bulky.
