Something interesting here. I am wondering if some of our vendors here have seen this on StangTV .com

or just go to StangTV.com and read about it

Looks to be the new thing in the future of supercharging. MAYBE have the best of both worlds, get the low rpm torque of the roots and the mid and upper hp of the centrifugals.

Still in the trials stage. Would like to see how our Marauders and GM do with this type of Supercharger.

Chime in anyone??????:beer:

Neat approach.

I'm more preferential to a staggered-size twin turbo setup for the "best of both worlds", but I can imagine this setup would be cheaper.

I'd like to see a clutch on the blower like the AC clutch where you could turn it on when needed.......it would eliminate some parasitic drag for normal conditions and be ready to roll with a flick of a switch!!:beer:

I got to see one first hand at SEMA. Its very cool and a great idea but I'm not a fan of the Size/price of the unit. It would be cheaper just to put a small pulley on it and install controlled waste gate like a friend of mine did with his F1A.
