    Never heard of these guys. Their website is copyright 2006, so it's questionable whether it's been updated for a while. Of course, that doesn't mean they aren't still around.

    Their Raptor V supercharger looks to be quite compact, but the are limited in application. Only 10 psi max to maintain any warrantee from the company; they will run to 14 psi, but you'll void the warrantee. Obviously these are intended for small-displacement engines.

    Their larger Raptor V Hybrid supercharger looks impressive... at least on paper. It's suitable for larger displacement engines and will produce about 14 psi of boost with no lubrication requirements ever. Unfortunately, their website doesn't say much with respect to the supercharger's internal drive mechanism - gears, ball-drive, belt-drive...?

    It would be good to hear from people who have these blowers installed - I'm curious as to their reliability vs. power-output.
