Well..!
My apologies for not putting more thought into your suggestion/s Andyman.
I was fighting with aerohead at the time and ...er... hot headed.
(Wish I could call it a debate, but that involves deduction and responding to the points/questions posed by your contender)


That's very clever for being simple and great for a wide rpm range.
But for constant rpm it's still unnecessarily complex and the supercharger adds weight and takes up space doing the work that the existing crankcase was/is doing.
