Shelby GT 500 Supercharger

[warhawk]

Can anyone identify the exact type of supercharger on the new Shelby GT 500?

There are several different types of twin screws. I am trying to determine how much lose of boost with altitude. It depends on the type of supercharger from what I have read.

Also, does anyone know how much boost is coming from this supercharger?

Thanks!

I know he didnt know much, but the guy talking about it at the NYIAS made certain (saying it a few times) that it was an Eaton
