to boost or not to boost that is the question.Gerald said:who cares! /images/graemlins/supergrin.gif
Just because Jerome is a pornographer, does NOT mean he is ignant! He is correct.Jerome said: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.
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:The Roes s/c is not a Roots type blower, it is more of a twin screw.

If I was a pornographer I would be rich from pervs like me. :idea:CitySnake said:Just because Jerome is a pornographer, does NOT mean he is ignant! He is correct.Jerome said: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.

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.
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:Twin screws are Whipple-style. Roots is a single screw.

(That's Whipple, not nipple, Gerald.)
Turbos suck. Centrifugal blows. Twin screw is good, but I'm leaning towards the triplet screw.Excess said:So what do you guys have, and why ?
