brakes, who needs them, they only make you slow down, not go faster Smile

as for superchargers... go for a toyota one... sc14 or sc12.
off the 4agze and 1jjze (i think that's it) motors. the sc14 would be better, puts out more air per revolution. you would need a place to mount it, a pulley set up, a pipe going from the supercharger to the carby or throttle body and a box over the carby with the pipe going into it. a rising rate fuel regulator would also be good. you wouldn't have to drop the compression if you are only going to run low boost. these superchargers will cost about $400 from a wrecker.
yes, a g180 head will fit on a g161. it might drop the comp a bit so if you were going to supercharge it, then go for it, if not, it will only decrease your performance.
