I totally agree with that. Yes, I certainly do not expect Dodge to put both in. What I am saying is that don't take a V-6 engine add a induction system
to get the larger HP since it will put stress on the engine that is not designed for that stress and wear it out quicker. Get larger engine to start with.
Okay, we agree here. I still prefer displacement over forced air induction because even on a larger and stronger built engine it is going to make it age faster nevertheless, but if that is what your planning on doing with yours, more power to you (literally).
That I would like to see. Without the belt to turn the lobes on the supercharger, there is not way get the air into the engine.
A mechanic told me about this. They have alternate valve routes for this. Superchargers work kind of like MDS systems, they provide power on demand or in this case boost on demand. The supercharged cars I have ridden in and driven will have no boost if your feathering it or cruising. It isn't until you press for it to engage. Although the engine is spinning the pulley at all times, it isn't really doing anything until the system engages it.
The simple fact is your then depending on two factors that will grow weaker with age and wear out.
Well shoot I have that problem myself. I am getting weaker with age and am wearing out........at least that is what my wife tells me.
LOL! Well in this case, we were made superior to cars that if we work ourselves harder we age better. My Grandparents walk at least four miles a day in a dusty, gravel, hilly road, and do physical labor on their farm and their in the upper 70s. They have better endurance than many of my cousins do. I'll tell you they are so stubborn that when we went to a baseball game at the "new" baseball stadium the person taking the tickets suggested to them that they could take the elevator to their seats since they are senior citizens. Boy, my Grandmother was furious at such a suggestion. That's the secret, basically work yourself to your potential and that should curb the aging issue.
