Well, stroking a 2.5 to a 2.7 is going to adversely effect you compression ratio and make the engine more prone to detonation, you need to shift a huge amount of air for 500kw, the two of these add up to disaster. But I think the sc and engine will run out of huff long before then.

While not requiring oil and coolant supplies from the block, the advantages of a super-charger are few, they cannot match a large turbine for displacement of air, require engine power, and who needs boost at 1000rpm anyway? You need to work fairly hard to extract 500killerwasps from an engine with turbos, that is going to be a shit-load harder with a SC - and you have only got a miserable 2.7 litres to work with. I doubt you will see more than 300hp at the wheels, but for argument's sake - are you using a centrifugal or roots-type super-charger?

To make a clean weld you need to use argon, as it stops the metal from oxidising. Get a disposable Argon bottle and some stainless welding wire.
