It's going to be a while, but i eventually plan on adding a supercharger to the stang. All the other mods just seem to pale in comparison. I see tons of places that have kits for the centrifugal superchargers, and I know kenne bell is pretty much the only source for twin screw, but does anyone know of a reputable place to get a good roots-style supercharger kit? preferably for a decent price? I want that wicked flat torque curve.... mmmm..... torque....
thanks in advance

Kenne Bell gives you the same torque curve.. but if you're dying for that wicked blower whine.. may as well buy a Roush setup.. they make almost 360rwhp..

Roots type has more parasitic loss. I would go with a screw type.

Dig-It just poseted his kenne bell dyno sheets. 420 rwhp/460 rwtq. cant beat it. and the curve is better than flat. it starts slowly peaks, and stops at the same level. never loses boost. dig-its car has a cat back and thats about it, so its basically stock. right now kenne bell is the real deal.

Twin screw is more efficient and makes more power than a roots.

I would recommend a Kenne Bell for a Twin Screw and an Allen Engine Development Eaton M90 for a Roots.

I think the twin screw are the only way to go. seening a basically stock car run low 12's with just a kb twin screw pretty much sells me on it the kit to have right now. that being said there are fast cars with roots chargers but if I were buying one right now to me it is a no brainer. lets face it to run 11sec you need to mod your car or you would get booted off the track. so basically the 9psi kb kit is the only mod you really need to do to your car. I am curious what the 6psi kit would do. have to seen any et's with that kit.

I am the one that got 12.3 @ 114 with no mods other than a Magnaflow catback and Nitto dr's.

I am waiting for the guy that has a completely stock GT, bolts on a Kenne Bell 9 psi intercooled kit , swaps in some dr's and gets 11's. If my car wouldn't have been taken out by a Camaro at the track, I probably would have done it that day.

Damn that sucks so bad. I know how it feels though. At least you were not hurt, the car can be fixed

Twin screw is the way to go. Less heat which makes it more efficient than the roots style blower.
