personally i think thats over kill, for a stock M20? If your going big turbo or revving to 9000rpm then yes go for it

Definitely not stock haha. Last incarnation was revving 8k, and this build will be just as much plus FI. Starting with a rotrex supercharger, but building to be able to expand later without having to rebuild it later (turbo/twin charge)

That's the down side to building a nice car here... 6 months or more of snow and ice, and then 2 or 3 months of flying rocks after the thaw.
