nice kit, well researched and designed, very quiet. I saw their intercooled kit on a reg cab 6.0 w/6spd go 13's with it only been on the truck for a short time. They also got 425+hp whie dyno tuning before the track. It was a consirvative tune

Go look at the power point.

From what I have seen and heard they are pretty cool superchargers. I have not seen one in person, but the numbers look good.

is there something diferent about the rotax vs a vortech or a paxton? i know if w2w has anything to do with the kit it will be a nicely put together set up much like the radix kit but wont it have the typical lack of low end boost that the other blowers like a paxton have?

it is great to have options and i am pumped up to see another option open up for us. i dont really know what that goods and the bads are for this type of a blower.

I know I am a little late with the reply but I talked to W2W after the SEMA show last year about the Rotrex blowers and they sounded pretty impressive. It has a different drive system than the current gear driven cent. blowers and they claimed that they could be safely spun somewhere in the 60,000-70,000 rpm range if my memory serves me right. W2W also said that they would be extremely effecient and would produce almost instant boost closer to a positive displacement blower than a cent. blower. At the time they didn't have a blower capable of producing the 500/500 I was looking for it but they siad they would have one soon and that was back in Nov/Dec 05. W2W also told me that the Rotrex blowers are used in OEM applications over seas so the quality should be good.
