The bling factor is certainly high with the supercharger , no doubt . Apart from that , I think the power gains are negligable , no matter WHAT is claimed by whoever you see selling the supercharger . I've driven many MUCH faster n/a MGBs , and their owners spent way less $$$ to get there . It's all about the "wow" factor , I guess . I was pretty darn disappointed in the supercharger setup , personally . I'm hoping we'll see more of 'em come through the shop , so eventually one will change my mind .
