Colorchallenge ~ the addition of a supercharger to the car

Supercharger is a gas compressor used to pump air into the internal combustion engine cylinder. The additional oxygen mass that is forced into the cylinder makes the engine burn more fuel, and increases the engine's volumetric efficiency and makes it more energetic. A supercharger is mechanically powered by a belt-pulley, chain-sprocket, and gear mechanism of the engine crankshaft. The supercharger is similar to a turbocharger, but the turbocharger is powered by an engine output gas stream that drives the turbine. Superchargers can absorb as much as one-third of engine crankshaft power and in many applications are less efficient than turbochargers. In applications where large power is more important than other considerations, such as dragster top fuel and vehicles used in tractor pull competitions, superchargers are very common. With increasing oxygen being pushed into the cylinder, the engine burns more fuel and optimizes the volumetric efficiency of the engine, which increases engine power.
