Might be OK with a centrifugal. It gives little or no boost at low speed when the engine is breathing well. With the right matching, the boost coincides with the fall in volumetric efficiency at high revs. The big negative is the cost compared with Roots blowers and turbos.

Hey.......wait....
To close the story on my 420, I found a buyer in Maine who wants to get back into a vintage Jaguar. He works in a body shop so he has the expertise and knowledge to take the car to the next step. The car left my house yesterday on it's way east and should be there soon.
I want to offer a sincere thank you for all the help and fun this community offered along the way. I've always said that a classic car is only as good as the community that supports it and once again I count myself lucky to find this forum.
What's next for me? I'm starting my search for the next Jaguar project. I looked at a Mk IX last night which was tempting but not sure that's the one. Maybe a Mk II or S-type? All I know is that the older the better!

LOVE your new XJ-12! Light yellow is one of my top-most favorite colors. I like'em with either red or green interiors.
Looking forward to seeing you working your magic on it! (And buying it once you've completed it haha~) I trust you're going w/a std. trans, no?
