Nice fins. Are you using the finned valve cover (above), too?

Does anyone have any numbers on what the Drouin produces over stock??

It was hard to make out in the side profile photo.  I've never seen those particular finned parts before. 

Any idea of what hp and torque gains come with the Drouin?

Carpy had one of these on a bike a few years back, but the supercharger was not functioning.  I believe the belt was missing. Too bad it was a pretty paperweight.  I'm curious what kind of performance boost it makes.

Stupid question: why did you choose to supercharge a raked out chopper versus a drag-style bike? Don't get me wrong. The frame and tank are aesthetically cool, but maybe not as performance oriented.

diggers are essentially nothing more than a street legal drag bike, no?

I'm not that up to speed on choppers. The raked out front looks cool, but is not so well suited for precise cornering. I suppose drag racers don't give a damn about cornering, just straight line stability.
