Read the article the other day at Barnes & Noble. Yes, I'm that cheap. Not much there that any member of this site probably does not already know (if you have been here for more than 6 months). Mostly a list of bolt on things and where to get them. Not a real in depth how-to-article. The one part that did catch my eye was the mention of a supercharged (not turbocharged) 6.5 from a company called MarineDiesel of Sweden. They apparently have a factory in Stillwater, OK where they make these motors for us marine applications. From what I have read, they take an Optomizer motor and get some sick HP out of it. Read an article from 2007 http://flashoffroad.com/Diesel/supercharger/supercharge.html which was a how to on putting their supercharger on a hummer. In that article there is mention of a 400 HP show truck (yeah, I know, Santa uses it). The Diesel Power articles shows the complete supercharged motor as costing something under three grand. Have not been able to find out where to buy one though. I would pay three thousand for a drop in optomizer with a supercharger though. Probably be in a long line of other people doing the same thing.

Anyone have any links or info on where to find a seller for this mythical motor????
