Default Rotrex blowers?

What do you guys know about Rotrex blower kit that Wheel to Wheel sells? The truck in my sig has one on it and I've never seen or heard of Rotrex until now. I have no idea how much psi it's making...can't wait to get a wideband, some gauges, and an intercooler and see what this thing will do!

There is not too much here about them, you are the first that I know of and I for one am curious to learn more. Stick around!

shweet..maybe we can all learn a thing or two! I'm pretty excited to start tinkering with this truck a bit. I'm not touching anything cosmetic on this truck..might be a rare one..but I am definitely stuffing an intercooler in there and seeing how much boost the blower is capable of.

I've heard they were good units if only small. Look forward to seeing some pics of your ride and the engine bay!

I've worked on a truck with one. They are a very nice piece and their optional intercooler is worth every dollar. we hit 500rwhp with plenty more to go. So far that truck has went 13.19@112.19 with a 2.43 60'. That's with alot of peddling to get it to not spin so damn hard and letting up to shift (6 speed).

Damn, there's plenty left on the table for that truck! 112mph and a nasty 2.4 60'. That'll definitely improve once traction issues are solved.

Is that a member on here or SSS.com Zippy?

If they're such capable units, then why only 309rwhp and 307rwtq? How low of boost are you running? Can you explain the dyno numbers a little further please?
