Yeah... They're called Apten. For a little extra, they'll polish it tooo...

Why not get a Lysholm supercharger-
yeah they cost an arm and a leg- but they are the most efficient and give the best hp of any supercharger.
(for all I know the kenne bell is a lysholm type- im not sure)
The KB is a lysholm type...

Much grass-
Yeah - then deff go with a KB!!

cheapest would be a home brew-
best would be a nice custom from someone like Roush Racing-
How much you got??

Can't argue with the hp #'s, thats for sure but with the car pulling 450 hp with a simple exhaust, pulley and re-programming of the computer, why mess with it. I'm sure with some addtional "tweaking" you could achieve 500 hp out of it w/o changing the S/C!

The stock eaton is that much LESS efficient than the Screw?
Why don't more OEM manufacturers go with a screw type than?? MY god that looks like a great upgrade. . .
