Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Larry T and Sarti...

HOW DO I SEND THIS QUESTION TO ALL MEMBERS?

 Novitec Supercharger Packages...please Provide Feedback 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

I am looking to get feedback from anyone who has had a supercharger
package from Novitech installed regardless of the Ferrari model. I have
an 
F430 I purchased about a year ago. I am looking to supercharge the
engine. 

I have heard both positive and negative feedback with regard to
novitec's supercharger engine packages. I am interested in hearing of
any positive or negative experiences working with Novitec and any issues
or problems you had. 

I am potentially considering customizing the supercharging with a
different company...and with this company, they will touch the engine. I
know there are those who are against touching the ferrari engine, but I
do not have that concern....I just want the ultimate result. With
Novitec, I have heard that you cannot achieve the ultimate desired
result by only slapping on a supercharger package from Novitec, but that
you must actually alter the engine along with the supercharger package
to get the best result.

Pls advise. I need to make a decision quickly...Appreciate your help.

Pls send me a private message if you prefer (vs. post).

Hey Stevie: Ach, the old Can Am days at Laguna Seca. The only
mistake?that Doug and I ?made up there was not robbing that bank in
Watsonville, 'Artichoke Capital of the World' on the weay back to
L.A.?And we were in the pits at Stardust too when poor Jim Hall earnrd
his Pilots Wings. I remember his (then) wife, Sandy, crawling into the
medi-vac chopper with him on the way to the 'Vegas hospital. Lother (the
other car) wore a neck brace for a year after that.

How poor were Doug and I then? So poor that we had to share a single
room with?a couple of other people?that weekend! <g>

Yer frugal pal, Ferrari Bubba

I remember being the pits at Riverside, the short lived Ontario,
Stardust 
when Jim Hall checked his mirror and ran into back of another car
sending 
him flying and a spectator removed him from what was left of his car.
Willow 
springs. Yes it was better for the fans back then. Then BIG MONEY and
Safety 
got involved.
When you get the TIME MACHINE working I want to correct a mistake I made
in 
1989
at Laguna Seca :-)
