I have never heard of these kits before. I know a lot of people use either vortech superchargers (centrifugal type), or the magnachargers (screw type).

Have you considered going with a 4.7L or 5.3L swap? It'd be cheaper and give you tons more power.

That technology isn't even close to being "new".

sickie, didn't know the term roots had changed to "screw"

X2 on screw=roots=old old technology bud.

used roots blowers are common, cheap and fun.

I am pretty sure what you are talking about is a centrifugal 'charger, pretty sure I am saying that correctly, its actually held off to the side of the engine by a bracket. Like a Procharger, they can make big power.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Whipple. Screw/ Roots type blower, mounts on top of the motor. I've heard of Wynjammer, never of street applications...Boats.
