Default Re: Supercharger: Roe or Paxton!!

Very different animals. Steve's post is the clearest in terms of making a decision between the 2.

Decide on your RPM driving style, i.e., where will you most likely spend most of your time or where do you want to maximize your power.

With a Centrifugal blower (Paxton) you will be able to generate more power, however that power will be limited to the upper RPM band (say 4,000 RPM and over).

With a Roe, you will not be able to generate as much power, however you will see much more increase south of 4,000 (say 2,000 to 4,000).

Just get comfortable with your choice as you won't want to make a change afterwords.
