should be pretty sweet man..

just a couple things.. my $0.02..

Don't put nitrous coils around the supercharger. Putting something like that around a precision-fit piece of moving machinery can't be good for the moving parts. Problem being that you'd end up rapidly, and unevenly cooling/heating up certain elements of the supercharger that would probably result in damage to the precision fit rotating bits.

2ndly.. as sweet as the quaiffe is, I was always tempted to go with the ford racing Torsen (I had neither, so this is unqualified opinion). However, consider that the quaiffe, if you put a wheel in free air (like leaving a parking garage driveway), that free wheel will still spin by it's lonesome. The quaiffe and the torsen in stock trim only keeps you from dog legging it if both wheels have force applied to them. Put one in the air and it'll still spin freely.

However, you can get the torsen in a pre-loaded configuration. Which means there's always a slight amount of torque applied to the diff so in a one wheel-in-the-air situation, the wheel on the ground will end up doing the pulling.

However, I do not know if this increases parasitic drag or not, or even if it matters that a wheel in the air will spin freely... since that's rarely the case when driving the car where the diff is needed. It's just a detail I found interesting when shopping around for diffs.

The bonus is that I believe the quaiffe has a life-time warranty. You can't beat that.
