They have a 65+% efficiency. Arent the lowest Vortechs around 73%http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...rformance.html Id pay the extra money for a whole kit. FI just isnt cheap regardless of how you go about it.
Id be curious to hear some real numbers. Im going to a T trim when I get the FMIC setup due to how quickly this little S trim maxes out.

Hey guys,

If you would like more technical info on Rotrex superchargers visit this page I put together. http://www.w2wpowertrain.com/t-techRotrex-2.aspx

Last year Rotrex approached us to distribute their products as well as develop some kits.

Our program using Rotrex superchargers is still in it's infant stages. We plan on offering units and supplies for do it yourself kits as well as selling kits we develop.

As far as comparisons we are doing some right now. By the end of the month we will have kit installed on a Lsx truck for drive testing. I will post information here.

The units are a lot smaller than others due to the design of the drive system.

Our dyno testing on LS1 engines has proved the Rotrex units work very efficient and produce great tourque on the low side as well as through the RPM range.

The units they have available now are more suited for mild street applications. They have a larger unit in the works to handle higher horsepower applications.

All and all I have been impressed with them. Very nice quality and more efficient than most I've seen through my travels.

Hosepower levels listed are Brake Horsepower with the supercharger.

You can be assured if it wasn't a quality product with potential we wouldn't sell it.
We test every part we use.

Hmmm...if W2W is supporting and testing this thing I'd probably have to trust it, W2W sells and builds some pretty mean stuff

Damn, i wish i wasn't spending a buttload of money on a wedding this summer, i'd get in line for one of the test kit's, i'm right around the corner from you guys, hell, you can test it on my 04 sierra for the summer, let me do some real world testing, then take it back in the fall........lol, or we can finance, everything can be financed nowadays. Damn would the ol' lady be pissed if i slapped a blower on the new truck, but damn i loved my Procharged Z28, i need FI again....i miss it.

Oh, and yes from what i have heard, W2W are a real quality setup, a buddy of mine works there, but not in the performance division i guess it would be called, but he loves it there, great place and great people he says. I haven't heard any horror stories yet, and in the Detroit metro area here, rumors spread like people are a bunch of high school girls.

Very true. I've been in the industry around here for a little over ten years. I've heard plenty of horror stories.

Not to mention we have fixed a few here.

I always say.

Experience doesn't exactly mean good experience
