Are you kidding shelby? Look at the 22 second mark he shows the supercharger and the plumbing, plus you can see the belt, not to mention the awesome supercharger whine.

First off im not here to knock anyone down or say "you're wrong you dumbass" Im simply sharing information. yes this engine is supercharged. You may not be able to see it but you can see the wide belt and tensioner in one shot. Its just not the big supercharger you normally see bolted right on top of the intake. This setup allows you to run a charge air cooler which they also show. Agreeing with c30 you will hear a bov dump because the charger comes before the throttle plate in the system, where as with the big superchargers on the intake the throttle plate is before it. another thing you can hear is that the frequency or pitch of the whine is in a parallel ratio to the speed of the engine, indicating a supercharger, or something that is run mechanically directly from the engine. With a turbocharger you will hear it "spool" or increase in frequency rapidly as exhaust gas pressures increase. That being said this is a beautiful car and an awesome representation of unique thought and ability. Alot of time and work went into this car and it looks great. i dont think i would even line up next to him on my bike. Great job to whoever the creator was, keep up the good work.

maybe you guys aretight but when he was doing a burnout and stapping on it hard it sounds like a BOV cashing out. Maybe my ears are bad?
