I had a T-bird 312 in my '57 Fairlane 500. was always curious about the supercharger that Ford and Studebaker used also. Matter of fact I still got the AFB carb mod page in my bookmarks. Supercharger Carb Modification.
Who could forget the TB-28, a micro turbine from Turbonique that affixed to the rear axle of a drag car for push button HP! Here is a cool vid of their insane products with a very special cameo appearance at 2:48.
They had self powered superchargers that took no engine power to run. I can see this today as a super-capacitor driven electric supercharger for instant power while recharging when not in use.
