Import Racer Project Tiburon.
Wow!
Alpine Supercharger on '03 Tiburon article is sick.
Alpine's Steve Hall imported from South Africa for the install!
Must be nice!
2.7L Aqua-cooled kit
50.6 hp gain
38.8 ft/lb torque gain
4 pounds of boost
results = 193.3 hp (SAE) @6,551rpm
tested with a Dynapack hub dynometer
cool.

Yup, it's in the Jan 2003 issue. THey devoted 7-8 pages to the article. They discuss the background of alpine the company and the man who started it. They also talk about the instalation of the supercharge, as well as the before and after driving impresions of the Tibby. I really enjoyed reading the article and looking at all the great pics. Plus they include a beore and after dyno as well.

A 50 HP gain with a Supercharger?
Dude, considering the drag a SC puts on your system, this is GOOD!
