I realize that I’ve spent a lot of time in the past two weeks talking about roots style positive displacement superchargers. Those are not the only types of superchargers out there. Centrifugal superchargers have a top end biased power curve that works perfectly for applications where there are traction limitations, in drag racing where most of the race is spent in the higher rpm range, or on big motors that already have plenty of torque.

Here are two examples of vortech centrifugally supercharged beasts:

1997 Pontiac Trans Am street car:

Capable of 700hp

6.4 liter Big Block

Vortech S-trim supercharger

1.75″ headers into 3” collector and 3” true dual exhaust
