Does the moss supercharger actually work? Does it blow gaskets, throw rods etc?

I didnt mean for my comment to be attatched to your comment. I thought I was only making a general reply. My bad.

I do know what I'm talking about. I mean that Ive watched probably all of John Twists videos and he does have a certain humour about him in this one. You dont suppose that if he was talking about getting real performance out of the engine, he'd have been talking about a performance cam, ported and polished head, and larger carbs for example? You'd do well to drop the attitude. The only stupid comment is the one that nobody ever considers.

I get the feeling tongue was firmly planted in cheek while this video was being made. :)

I can't recall my source but I heard somewhere a scraper wil reduce the lubrication to the cam lobes as it reduces the oil being slung from the crank in that direction. Is that true or BS?

so what you are saying here is the credit card to pay for all the parts is really the only thing you need to make an MGB fast

Great Video John....Now we all know the best way to make your B Fly is to shine up the tires which greatly reduces drag.

...A turbo would be a good alternative..for about half the price. I may go with the cross flow head, 270 cam with the goal of getting 110 hp at the rear wheels.

I agree with the supercharger as a solution because it is widely available through Moss. However if say you could get a nice Garret or Berg ball bearing turbocharger... You have less weight and less drag. Lag is no issue with these turbos. A respectable amount of horsepower can be made with the appropriate setup.
