Thats right, I went there! Stoopidchargers!!!

Sounds like what little bit of power you may pick up is severely out weighed by how lean it makes the engine run and from what I understand it makes your engine very hard to tune contrary to what the guy says in his commercial.

Is answer for everything is you just don't understand it. Sorry to tell him HE is the one that just does not understand. As Racer said there is just no way the back wave is going to hold in the air and fuel that is getting blown out the exhaust. If there was some sort of disc valve or something it "could" work but still they don't have enough output to really have the affect they claim.

I had a local guy ask me about the superchargers as his two other buddy's had them on they're .28's in savages, he only had the .25 in his. I told him I would mod the engine and if he couldn't beat them then the mod was free and he could by the SC. He laid a beating to them all day long, well probably an hour till they packed up and left... His engine never got over 260 and it was a quick set and forget tune, the other guys did nothing but chase 300F+ temps trying to chase him down lol. Ever since then I call bs on them and guarantee either my pipe or engine mod would decimate this thing, and it's much cheaper too

Actually a supercharger can work on a 2-stroke. Building boost isn't really the problem. It's retaining the mixture in the cylinder due the port configuration as mentioned by ERCM. This makes efficiency low = not much gain in power. That is power gains on a 4-stroke can be well over 50% but on a 2-stroke it's well below that,closer to 10%.

Any gain is better than nothing though,so they're out there. I had one come in off of a Mercury outboard. The pre-mix was routed through the bearing housing to lube the bearing since 2-strokes generally do not have any other oiling systems.

So what your saying is the supercharger could work but it would basically have to be a supercharged motor from the factory.

I've got a couple of Piccos I'm sending your way for mods soon (hopefully in the next couple of weeks) and I'm getting exhausts for them too...I can't wait to experience these for myself. I know every single person I've ever seen post about them says they are the tops!
