In the June ed. of Car and Driver, they have an article about the upcoming C32 Mercedes, which is the new C class modified by AMG with the 3.2 3 valve V6 and a supercharger. Mercedes and AMG went through the engine strengthening parts, but what is most interesting is that they increased the capacity of the oil pump by 70%! Either the Duratec needs lower compression or a higher capacity oil pump to handle a supercharger. Ford even lowered the compression of the 5.4L Triton to 8.4 to 1 for the Lightning. Something to think about. That said, I can't wait to see Simon's supercharged SVT at the Ferrari Challenge.
