This is an old post haha.....Supran2r, You were probably reading about centrifugal superchargers. They do suck on paper, and reliability, But you have to ride in a car with one

. Thatll change your mind. The reason they suck is because it is basically a turbo, Designed to spin at a certain RPM which is reach fast by the turbo and then kept by the wastegate. The cent. style has to run at the speed of the motor, So it is only at its peak efficiency for a short time unlike a turbo. But this is very very fun

haha. But anyway, I was thinking of using a roots style blower. Like the eaton m61 from a clk230/lots of other cars, Or the eaton ones that came on the SC 3.8 v6s in buicks and pontiacs. On the already pretty powerful 7m motor, It would probably mnake about 290-300 hp. Anywhere from about 1900 rpms and up. Roots style blowers make power from idle all the way up, They just have limited ammounts of boost at high rpms. Look at top fuel dragsters. They make 8000 hp with roots style blowers on 1000 ish cubic inch motors. Tell your SC vs turbo article to eat that. lol. Thats 16.6 liters... thats like 480 hp per liter. They also run 4 sec quater miles and go 320 mph with one gear and a gokart style clutch(a really big one).
