Supercharged gold 1972 LeMans hardtop owned by Mark Elliott. CLICK->
Shot of the supercharged engine in Mark's gold 1972 LeMans hardtop. A supercharger is a forced induction system. It compresses the air flowing into the engine. See the fitting on the top of the carburetor. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine feed more air into each cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power. CLICK->
Another shot of the car's engine. Here it has a different supercharger setup on it. The typical boost provided by a supercharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi). Normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level. I'll bet you a dollar that the gauge seen here facing the driver is a "boost" gauge. CLICK->
