Re: centrifugal ,roots, or turbo
The Roes s/c is not a Roots type blower, it is more of a twin screw. Less heat build up per psi of boost then a roots.
All forced induction has good and bad points.

Re: centrifugal ,roots, or turbo
I went with Sean due to easy on easy off install, quality of the product (probably the same among the tuners) and most importantly, the price. I simply did not want to put more than $10,000 into the car. Completely personal preference.
Just because Jerome is a pornographer, does NOT mean he is ignant! He is correct.Jerome said:

(That's Whipple, not nipple, Gerald.)
Twin screws are Whipple-style. Roots is a single screw. "Hairdryer" style (like most Paxtons) are centrifugal and have a bit of lag, similar to turbos (although I've read they've mostly eliminated turbo lag, not sure if that's true or not).Jerome said:

Re: centrifugal ,roots, or turbo
Screws usually "screw" the air into the center of the housing. This is due to the "screw" shape of the rotors. These run cooler and are more efficient then Roots type. They will also produce boost from just off idle and take less HP to drive then Roots.
With any blower it is a good idea to run a burst panel, even more important when running N2O threw it. :nod:
Centrifugal blowers have no "lag" per say, just they do not build boost as fast as some others. But this is a function of how the blower is driven. You can have a centrifugal build boost at idle if you want.
Example- Underdriven, 1:1, or overdriven.
Roots type blowers have two rotors in them, they are not single screw. They force the air around the outer section inside the housing. The rotors if looked at from the top are straight in line, meaning they do not have a "screw" type twist to them. The rotors almost always have a Teflon strip on them to help seal against the case.McGuireV10 said:

Excess... you're only going to hear good things about both on this site. When you get serious, call both tuners. Ask them the questions that you're asking here. Bother the hell out of them till you are completely comfortable! Then make your decision. Between both of them, I don't think you can go wrong.
