yes whipple is a twin screw, and roots and twin screw are very similar. the only problem i have with the KB is the lack of an available IC (haven't seen one) and an m90 would take a lot of work to be able to fit (custom intake, moving idler pully)

the roots uses 2 interlocking impellers, whereas the twin screw uses 2 screws

the twin screw/lysholm is an improvement on the roots design

i realize that but they are of similar design, twin screws just move more air and cause less "drag" on the motor = better
