    not supercharged, but 1/4 scale is smaller than 1/3 scale, and you can buy a small chassis to fit it in

    Conley Precision

    EDIT: looks like grinch77 beat me to the punch by a few seconds. that's the Conley Stinger 609, and it reminds me vaguely of an LT1 or maybe a LT4, at least with the TBI-style intake manifold

    Did y'all see the little turbojet on a test stand farther down on the weberprecision site?

    Just me, but I don't think I'd want that thing thrusting directly at me as I operated the controls. Also, without an intake screen, it might suck pens, paperclips, and whatnot into the compressor.

    That thing is probably pushing at least 15 HP...
    Not bad for 5.6 cid

    I want this in a go kart!

    I am so jealous of the people that can build things like that... what an awesome skill. I would definatly mount that in my lawn mower back home-do the lawn in half the time! And it sounds awesome!
