I found this website a couple years ago:
It's dedicated to the old McCulloch superchargers that were on Kaisers, Packards, and Studebakers, among others.

I'm particularly fascinated by the CV pulley system, which works on the same principle as CV transmissions (like on the Honda Insight and Subaru Justy...but appearing as far back as the DAF 66.)

This seems like a perfect solution to the lack of low-end torque on todays high-revving sport compacts, like VTEC Hondas. Is anyone producing a modern equivellant of this SC? If not why not? It would add a new dimension to tuning, being able to change boost levels anywhere in the rev range, especially with modern computer controls.

Thoughts?
