Default Has anyone ever heard of...

a small continuously variable transmission on a centrifugal supercharger? One designed to keep the supercharger at full boost throughout the RPM range, from idle to red-line.

Last I heard the variable transmissions weren't too good at holding power. But I haven't heard anything about them in a while. $$$ though.

Are you still looking for that original idea?

Looks obvious to me that the boat left without you. you cannot even seem to grasp the concept of forced induction. Maybe sit down and fully read a few books(not mags) on the subject first.
This is some of the BS im talking about...

Wait, what the fuck is this guy talking about? A transmission physically ON the Supercharger? I'm confused.

Holley was developing one a while back that looked like a A/C compressor that had a built in gear set that worked like a 3spd tranny. I couldn't find the article on it online..... I think they scraped the idea.
