Has anyone heard of Rotrex superchargers. It is basically a supercharger built with a turbocharger compressor but uses a different style of gear drive to allow the compressor to spin faster. I just read abou this in the February 2006 issue of Ford Builder magazine. Some of the advantages they sated in the article:
- Small size ( about the size of a softball)
- Efficiency (10-15% more efficient then a roots style blower)
The c30 series looks like it would be the choice for our motors. You can choose different sized compressor housings. The price for the supercharger is around $1900 but it is just the supercharger and oiling system. You have to make your own bracket and intake tubing. Here are a few links.
