nice post... I'm guessing 585ish to the wheels or less... I will probably be going with the A&A kit when Andy is done.

Any numbers on this system yet? The fit and finish is beautiful! It looks great, even though everyone is saying the centrifugal set up is better.

They didn't mess around. We got to check it out back in November at SEMA. It will include everything needed including the tune.

I'd like to know how it compares to the centrifugal unit. A comparison between power curves, peak power etc.

This wont make the power the a&a kits will. Also, these are a bear to install, at least on a C6. Relocating the front accessories, dropping the drivers side exhaust to get to a block plug for coolant, drop drivers side fuel tank for a new pump.... Bolting the unit on was also a challenge because of the extremely tight spacing. I had to buy and make some tools to get it done. It's a nice solid kit and made good power, just tough to install.

The AnA, ECS, etc kits will be very easy to install.

It doesn't look like it's a small 1.7 either!

Nope, it's a 2.3!

How much weight does a supercharger set up like this normally add to the car?

About 90 lbs but PD blowers heat soak very quickly and I would go with a centri. I had the eforce blower on my 05 mustang and it was flawless and put down great power (520rw) but pulled timing and power often and easily due to heat soak. I just sold the kit for a procharger

I like the look and "fit and finish" of this kit, but if the centri style blower will make better, more consistent power, then that is definitely the way I'd want to go.

If roots style superchargers heat soak so much more so then centrifugal, why do all car manufacturers equip supercharged cars with a roots style set up? ZR1, the new Z06, Shelby GT500, Camaro ZL1 just being a few examples.

Roots/ positive displacement are more reliable, last longer and require less maintenance in my experience. I'm not against PD at all the they make stupid power but all the low end toque is tougher to plant on the streets and my car is a daily driver that is built for that purpose.

I agree with this part - they're far easier to work on - less piping, easier for techs to work with.

Also easier and cheaper to design in lieu of the intake manifold, etc. It's a more elegant package.

I agree about the curve, though. I can't keep it straight at stock torque @ 2500rpm. I don't need to go sideways with 450wtq instead of 250 at 2500rpm...

If they are more reliable and require less maintenance, then that sounds like the better way to go for somebody who wants OEM-like fit/finish, reliability and performance.

Does the torque curve drop off earlier than a centrifugal units, or does it just kick in sooner and maintain the curve to redline or close to it?
