The thing with a roots is you can run a big pully and pick up boost at the top end (like a turbo) or go with a smaller pulley and load up on midrange torque and throttle response while sacrificing topend boost (cavitation and heat). My solution, chemical intercooling (methanol) and small pulley for best of both worlds.

There's a certain point where the blower loses efficiency, causing cavitation and heat. You can only go so big with the overdrive... then you need a bigger blower.

Nah, it's nothing a little Krylon black can't cure.
