Already posted this on the Griff forum but in case some of you don't go there!!

Following my various bodywork and handling mods on my Griff 500 I was about to go down the classic power upgrade route that a number of you have already successfully done i.e ACT/404Cam/Mark Adams etc.

Then I heard a rumour of another way!

Would very much apprecciate any knowledgable input on this

That's gonna be costly Tiny, I know of a turbo'd Griff and the work was extensive and expensive. Keep us posted mate

I agree with Steve, don't see why you think you need to bring the subject up in so many forums but if so all it needed was a link to the original discussion. Now people are going to end up trying to follow lots of parallel threads about the same thing.

Supercharging is an attractive route but don't underestimate the huge amount of work involved, JE charge up to thirty grand for some of their conversions so don't kid yourself that it will be easy. I spoke to several people who'd done their own conversions (including a couple of independants who do them professionally) and each one advised me that it was a huge job to tackle. If you think £10K for a monster NA motor is expensive, you wait until you see the cost of some of these supercharger conversions when they come out!

It needn't cost 30K to blow a rover, that's ludicrous.

OK, time to close this one and link to it's brother on the Griff forum, all getting a bit fragmented.
