Triumph TR6 - Supercharging my TR6

Hi, I am new to the BBS. I am very interested in supercharging my TR6. I have heard that there is a chap in America called Bennett French who has done a lot of development on this, can anyone give me a mail address or telephone number for him, please? Not e-mail,I can't get to an internet access point very often. Many thanks.

Hello A S,

Assez cher comme investissement...

The biggest difference, AFAIK, is the Mr French uses EFI, and the Moss unit is a carburetor. I had a chance to drive a TR6 that was supercharged by Bennett French, and it is a entirely different experience. The car I drove also had the VandenKerr? Toyota 5 speed conversion. If the cars speedo was calibrated right, the car would pull hard in EVERY gear, and was running over 100mph in 4th. I shifted to fifth, and it felt as though it had no end to pulling power. I ran out of real estate,(and nerve) far before I found out when the car stopped pulling. The owner was most gracious in allow me to drive it at a TRials meeting.

Ricks video of his supercharged TR6 is pretty evident of the thrill. Watch the speedo and the tach
