LSA/Grand National conversion

Update:
Here are some pics. I have about 100 shake down miles so far with no issues. I have a boost controller that switches from 783rwhp/778rwtq to 965rwhp/931rwtq.

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!
Supercharged and turbocharged has been around and done lots of times. But from what I heard there is always a compromise. You mostly saw show cars rocking them and nos just for looks. Carburetors were the limiting factor in those setups. I myself would be happy with just one or the other but WOW! I am guessing modern fuel injection is the key here??? Any chance of a dyno run? How did you tune this beast? Do you plan on driving this hard or ? Very nice car without this but just badazz like you have it now. Hats off!

It looks good, but things are a snug fit in the engine bay.

All I can say is "awesome". It certainly does fill in the engine compartment and appears to be well appointed. I dig it!
