Back in the 1960's I ran a supercharger on both a Midget and an MGB. The power was great and rpm's would climb really fast compared to the 2 SU's. After about 25,000-30,000 miles I had to rebuild both engines. The OLD GUYS at the time were much more knowledgeable than I and they told me that the supercharger was allowing the engine to accelerate faster than the oil pump could pump oil to the top ends. So, I rebuilt the engines with lower compression pistons and high volume oil pumps and had no prob.lems after that. Enjoy
