Once the limits of a naturally aspirated engine are achieved in terms of horsepower and reliability, there s only one more way to maximize horsepower potential: forced induction. There are two options for realistic forced induction, a turbocharger or a supercharger.

Written by supercharging expert Pat Ganahl, this book has been the guidebook for supercharging fans for years. As time and technology march on, updates are required to keep things current, and that's exactly what this new, all-color edition of Street Supercharging does.
