Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

The GTM vs. Stillen torque curves is easily explained. Both are centrifugal blowers which are, in essence, like turbo chargers. The smaller the charger, the more torque it will create down low due to the reaching of full spool in the lower RPM range. GTM's rotrex is pushing more air at lower RPM due to its size. Conversely, the Stillen (Vortech) blower is taking longer to reach full spool due to it being fairly large. This easily explains its lower torque below the curve.
