Not just any supercharger, though. His 451 Roots-style unit was originally designed by none other than Zora Duntov and John Dolza. (The latter was the engineer also known for developing the first fuel-injection system on a ’57 Corvette, which made the 283hp, 283cid small-block the first production engine in the world to boast 1 hp per cubic inch). However, it was GM engineers John Camden and Lou Cuttitta who made this feisty air pump work on an actual car back in the late ’50s. Apparently five prototypes were built, and only two were ever installed on cars for testing.
