That's the unmistakable whine of a supercharger! Hell yeah!

Where did you get that at?

I would just caution you that driving it like that can lead to sudden undesired results, especially if you give it a lot of throttle and have sudden changes in the steering and traction, that is an easy way to destroy it. They can flip before you realize it, and then that impressive sounding and looking Discovery will rapidly change into an "OH Hell, Why Did I do That, Tangled Mass Of Metal". But it is yours, treat it however you dare.

i working towards the same concept, minus the supercharger deal though. Class 3 dessert racing has some RRC's currently running
such as these guys: OC Rovers - Unrivaled Passion For Rovers
and this guy has an awesome build so far: New RockStar Fab project vehicle - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board

i doubt the guy from Pirate 4x4 will run class 3, he has way too much frame mod to run. he would have to bump up to the unlimited class or all out trophy truck

I would hate to see you flip it over on it'sside or top making a sudden change in direction as you know does happen.

I like the cutaway or bobbed front and the external piping around the wndshield like a 110 has.

What supercharger set would that be. That still don't give much info on the build up, fuel management, etc. Anyone found more?

Is this the pro driver Pete Littler?
