Re: alfa-digest V8 #617 Frodo & SuperCharged

[Don Suiter <donsuiter@domain.elided>]

Scott captured the Alfa content in his excellent literary manner, this bit of lightness with the pictures and dialog on the supercharger on the clean SoCal GTV make the digest a pleasure.  It will be nice to see the progress made on the GTV as Ahmet keeps us informed of his
progress.  Any idea of the HP made at the wheels with this effort?
