Jackson Racing knows what they are doing...and they are now using the best supercharger on the market. info on rotrex is below.

I was thinking of "Rotex", not "Rotrex" as in the 350z kit below.

But I also found some good information on the rotrex superchargerl, in its application on the Koenigsegg.

They have 2 on the Koenigsegg, www.koenigsegg.com a swedish supercar using a ford modular based motor. The 80% efficiency range they boast seems like it is setting a new bar.
The Bi-compressor Centrifugal Supercharging System features twin parallel mounted Rotrex compressors, which cooperate in generating the 1.4 bar boost pressure needed to create the colossal 806 Hp output. The innovative Danish Rotrex compressor represents the next generation of centrifugal superchargers; they exhibit a higher energy-efficiency level than any other, they are operational at higher RPM levels and also feature a new and completely silent ball bearing planetary drive system.
Due to its 80% energy-efficiency, the amount of energy consumed by the compressor is returned with both a quicker and greater build-up of air pressure. The general difference when compared to alternative supercharging systems is about 10 % in efficiency, however the increase in the low end of the rev band is even greater, putting the boost pressure of the Rotrex compressor above that of any screw compressor in the RPM range of interest to performance driving. Also the very high RPM capability (120 000 RPM) of the Rotrex turbine itself allows for an extremely high maximum air pressure very early in the rev band (1.4 bar at 5000 RPM), in all creating a spread of power and torque across the rev band unmatched by any competitor.

i just want to know when we can expect the kit to come out. i'm very anxious.
