Just some off the wall thoughts.
$3000 is a lot of money, and unless your engine is already in
perfect condition, you would probably want to do an engine rebuild
too, so you're at maybe $4500 ready to rock 'n roll. You could do a
reworked head, cam, bigger carb, overbore, have less money in the
job, just as much HP, and probably better bottom end torque.
It like like a stock engine with the Moss SC should produce
something like 90 HP. Lot of money for that, say $180 per HP, and
that's without any clutch or rear axle upgrade, which you might need.
Without intercooler, superchargers increase temp too, so maybe you
would need cooling ugrade.
Just MHO, of course, but to me, a supercharger on a Sprite is more
cafe' racer than it is really high performance.
However, if Colin wishes to chime in, I'd accept his opinion without
question.
Cheers.
