When your supercharger can sound like an air raid siren 👏

I can't even imagine what this thing would sound like at 35,000 rpm.

I'm looking forward to telling the story of Latham Superchargers...pretty wild that so few were built, even though they were very well promoted and marketed by the big magazines of the '50s and '60s.

I had a 1959 Chevy wagon 235 6 cyl..as a kid, back in 1972. I found a twin single barrel intake with carbs. I ran it in that wagon. Made great HP. I understand at the time it was early corvette manifold. If I only had it now, it's part of History.

They made newer ones in the 80's I think. Super bitchin'.

Yes sir, the company sold and the new owner made some newer kits for Camaros and Firebirds.

Somewhere there's a Dentside Ford with a 390ci FE dying for that unit.

When machines were built by men and engineering required a visionary mind. True science is often Art in design.

Not currently for sale, but I would probably entertain an offer on it. Definitely one of our more expensive pieces in the collection.
