Has anyone installed the new Moss MP45 supercharger and manifold with a Tourist Trophy exhaust header - exhaust system?  The catalogue says you have to "modify" the forward header pipe to clear the manifold, but I suspect that may be only true for the older M45 manifold...

Also, I read somewhere that the Moss and perhaps OEM stock double row cam sprockets are keyed to retard the cam timing by 4 degrees, compared to the single row chain..Does anyone know if this is indeed true?  I'm replacing the set on my '74 MGB  and want to go with the double row set, but I'm not sure if moving the power band further up the RPM range by retarding the cam would be a good thing to do with the supercharger installed..or should I stick with the single row set?

Thanks,

Ken,

I'm not specifically aware that the timing was changed at the point of going to a single row chain and sprockets.

Why not get the adjustable dual row cam sprocket and put the timing just exactly where you want it? Advanced Performance Technology is coming out with a camshaft just for the "blower" MGB, and certainly they have the knowledge to tell you where to time it for your specific needs. between these two, you can surely optimise what you have
