But it can give you a 35 HP increase!! Plus if you add on a couple of stickers, that puts it up over 50 HP. You can't pass that up.

Dude, I was just going to post this.
The Turbonator combined with my phat exhaust and my like 50 stickers atleast give me 200 more horsepower.

I could totally own your Bugatti Veyron at the stoplight.

I think the roots-type or centrifugal superchargers are both relatively efficient. The roots-type definitely makes the most heat, but a twin-screw SC will actually consume power at low rpms when it isn't boosting.

EDIT: Forgot some stuff. A centrifugal SC creates less heat, but it also isn't very good at making power at low-to-mid rpms, so the power it creates is at the top of the revs. While it may technically be more efficient than a roots-type blower, that doesn't account for the usability of the delivered power.

Looks like a centrifugal design, for the OP.

What about a wankel compressor?

Some good info here.

in terms of efficiency a centrifugal SC is more efficient than a roots or screw type. However, a turbo is more efficient than either.
