After a lot of thinking with regards to the power plant for the Bantam altered, with the original plan being a simple carbed big block Chevy but as is normal with these cars, the sensible decision was made to opt for a supercharged methanol burning Chevy. Its makes the

most sense, the time I added up cost for a decent carb and a good inlet manifold we thought we might as well go

blown.

And the fact that we have a few spares knocking about and the knowledge to do it, it makes the most sense.

The next step was to contact Kenny at SuperPowerUnlimited.co.uk to enquire about some sponsorship for the altered.

I had already struck up a good working relationship with him while building his new website

www.SuperPowerUnlimited.co.uk so I thought if you don’t ask you don’t get…..so as of now Kenny has very kindly

come up with a deal that suits us both, I get the use of a freshly rebuilt 8/71 blower, inlet manifold and all associated

parts needed for a blower install, Kenny gets his company name on the Bennett racing website and our race cars.

The aim is for the Bantam to be out early next year and will most likely run in the supercharged outlaws and Super Pro ET and any other meetings where

were not racing the NFAA Relentless Topolino.
