I guess now I can't decide what I want to do. Most likely I'll go with boost but I have to decide between turbo or a roots s/c. Being a truck one would automatically think roots s/c since you want some good low end power but since rotaries naturally produce most of their power up high, it'd probably be better to get a turbo. I'm more of a turbo guy myself since they are more efficient and all that. They are also very fun.



I know for I'll go with a Turbo II engine since its built for boost and such, but just have to decide which FI route to go. I'll probably stick with the turbo since that's what I know and love.

dont go roots. they become increasingly innefficent as the RPM rises. go with a lysholm one. they produce good power down low while still being able to get alot at the top. best all around sc. and if im not mistaken it makes more power than roots down low as well, and more than centrifical up top.

i'll probably just end up going with a turbo. from what i've seen, rotaries are quite good at spooling up a turbo
