[W126 Coupe] tornado air twister

[Eddie]

But doesn't the metering plate adjust fuel for the increase in air? (up to a
certain point).

"Do all superchargers not require you to readjust
mixture?"

In all forced air applications you will have to add
more fuel.  More air + more fuel and more air out =
more power.  More air in + no more fuel = melted
pistons.
