Having worked with many supercharged engines, this one is mostly show and little go, because small blowers make low boost pressure. Blowers don't scale down well, so they need to be overdriven to achieve decent pressure. That camshaft drive is 1/2 crank RPM, and appears to be about 1:1. This deal would put lots of stress on the cam chain if boost was high.

Like you said, looks COOL and has those great alloy wheels... :thumbsup:
