Supercharger guys..
I was just wondering what the main differences are in the roots style blower and the centrifigual type blowers such as the Vortech and Procharger. What makes these better/worse than others? Comparing blowers such as the Whipple/Radix to the Vortech type blowers. I was just wondering the main performance, and other differences and concerns with these. Thanks.

You can make more power with a centrifical, but your ET's wont be as good because it takes so long to make boost with a centrifical. As far as supercharger the Radix is the way to go, but I think turbos kick ***.

I like my Kenne Bell SC however I can't suggest them to you because you will never get any kind of support and they tell you to live with their screw ups. Buy the Radix and be happy. Don't even consider kenne bell if you want good service and support.

See im in the same predicament right now too-cant decide on turbo or supercharger(radix,vortech)Im the type that im crazy when it comes to mods and eventually I will have a cam,headers,&head work along with either a supercharger or turbo. Ive been looking at the Vortech real hard but just cant make a decision-Why do you say a centrifical is less daily driver friendly?? Is it a pain to tune on a truck?? Just wondering.
