Do you want to hear from an automotive engineer call Eaton Tech line. From
an programmer manager who works on the Ford Lightning program call Charles
Wyman. They have numbers on all types of test with supercharger units.
Once more, now if you want to hear the truth, Kenne uses the cheapest known
blower on the market from Sweden and not even closed to the vast superior
Eaton blower. But if the Eaton blower, same design, uses at least 60-80HP
to drive the blower unit versus a centrifuge with less than 10-15HP lost.
Trust not my word, then do a Dyno on the two and see the difference. With
6PSI the Powerdyne is a better bang for the buck.
Tony, no one is flaming the Kenne unit or Vortech, but I had look at both
and see which one is more HP for the buck. If I wanted an on-demand TQ/HP
to be constant, then I would choose the twin screw versus the centrifuge
version. I only cared about high-end TQ/HP then I would opt for the latter
version.

AGAIN ,Kenne Bell claims that it takes less power and is one of the
efficient on the market in their sales literature. Do you have data to back
up that statement? If you do then I need it.
Thanks Tony V
