Paxtons do have a tendancy to fail ... I think it's because of thier self
contained lubrication system.
Vortech's on the other hand use engine oil to lubricate/cool the blower. I've
seen Vortech setups on Mustangs that are very reliable, dialy driven day in
and day out for many thousands of miles with no troubles at all..

A Roots blower would take alot of work to adapt to a late model Dodge truck,
plus it might look kinda funny sticking out of the hood. :) Besides, at those
boost levels a centrifigul blower would probably be way more efficient anyway.
Stick with the centrifigul.
