Rotex - Ball Drive?

[speedytang]

They sell bigger units but I would say if 2 of these make 965hp on a healthy engine then 1 Vortech or Paxton would make a lot more power. They only have kits listed for the new Chevy Truck and the kit is more than a Paxton or Vortech kit so why should the US market even bother with the Rotex.

Check out this months Hot Rod, they have a article on them. Lee

I read that article and it at least showed the transmission of the unit. If they would make the unit larger and post some CFM numbers it would be nice. Everytime I see that unit I think of the Mid-80's when Automotive magazines had contest and people had been converting GM Air Pumps into Superchargers.

They did that ?
Not much cfm I think

Popular Hot Rodding in the mid 80's had a contest and Colleges made superchargers out of Air Pumps and Air condition compressors and the Air Pump made a excellent unit and produced 8psi and it was already on the engines so no bracket had to be designed. I will find that issue and scan the article because it made sense, but then 80% of the cars still had a carb so now that design would be perfect with fuel injection. I just no that the air pump pulses so I need that article to see how they got past that issue.
