Then again, there's another part of me that suspects this is an elaborate set up for April Fool's Day...

keep up the good work... sp engineering says it best, "innovator, not imitator"
in the test, they're both using a 2" pulley, it's illustrating how much more efficient the twin screw is. With the same # of rotations, the twin screw is making 3 more psi, and still making 72 more hp... that's freakin amazing

also what boost will you be running from the blower? 1 bar ish? and what presure are you animg for with the turbo, 45psi????
great set up and please keep us posted on how its going.
thanks Chris.

Wow, this is pretty amazing. The quality of that manifold is par with a factory backed pro import car. The problem is you may not have a class to run in with that two power-adder setup. You should contact the guy who had a custom quaiffe drivetrain built (RNR built the car) because I doubt your going to have an easy time keeping the vehicle reliable if you really plan on driving it on the street.
