Roots supercharger?

Yeah, I think with the throttle plates mostly open, even with a bypass valve, it won't work -- you'd just constantly be under boost -- so all you need is

Actually, not even sure you would need a bypass then, as on idle, very light throttling and decel the blower just won't be spinning. My understanding on the plumbing and routing of things might be off a bit -- I know more about tuning than building the set-ups, so somebody please correct if I am missing something here. Probably need a new hood with nice big bulge to fit it, but that would be bad *** anyway! __________________ Enjoy it. Destroy it.
