The only bad thing about the roots blower is they get hot and aren't as efficient as a twin screw in high boost applications. They are without a doubt the most reliable blowers or they wouldn't come stock on so many cars over the years. For a street blower at 9psi the roots is hard to beat for price and reliability...And for not being loud..Have you ever heard a 03/04 Cobra? They scream! The don't call them blenders for nothing

Yea but i keep reading bad stuff aobut the roots blowers, plus i heard they are not as loud, but if i can mabye talk this guy down to about $1500 i will do it, hes has it in his garage for 2 years!!! Car is gone.

The series II wasn't a bad kit and for $1900 assuming its a complete kit is a good price. The series II is an eaton m-90 head unit and is one of the most used oem blowers ever. Its the slightly smaller brother to the FRPP blower and 03/04 Cobra blower which use m-112 head units.

Damn i think it is a series 2, would you guys still get series 2 kit for $1900? I know it a roots and all (i dont really know what the big difference is, it will still make boost)

If your going to go with a roots/twin screw, its twin screw hands down. A 2v car will not even come close to making the same power levels as a cobra with a roots setup.

You hit it on the head there, but I don't think you realise how bad they are. On a otherwise stock 99-04 you are looking at 320~ WHP with a roots at about 9 PSI.

Another guy on Stangnet also made 335rwhp with the stock 6psi pulley and a 04 pi engine in his 96. Both will be going with the 9 psi pulley as will i with mine. I'll admit anything over 9psi with an non intercooled eaton is too much but 9 and under is very good. I think the main reason i bought the FRPP blower kit for my 2V is because everyone said they don't make power.....we will see when my shortblock gets back from Steen

RE: For those debating about Saleen and KB
so simply on a stock gt, with exhaust and bolt ons with a KB 1.7 running 10psi you can run that smoothly? or will **** start blowing out? how much horse would you be at?
GT BOB -> your gt is puttin 400+ hp with the kb, did you forge anything or its still stock- with just mods.
