I was looking on the net and I found a pic of a supercharged FTO.
I couldn't find any info on it, I wonder how much improvement it makes.

dag-nabbit, wish it was real, that pic that umm's got looks better, is it an FTO, the coils are in a different place, but with this setup it doesn't look that difficult, just get the brackets and shaft made up, theres still lots of room under the bonnet you can still keep the battery in the engine bay.

Nah it's not of an FTO as far as I can tell, the bodywork is all wrong and it looks like a different engine.

The thought had crossed my mind as the setup is very similar. Aussie dollar is looking vs US at the moment as well...
