Default Dumb question about a roots blower

Ok, I've done the search on MF, IS there a roots blower that I can put on my 5.0? After reading the article, I feel like a roots blower is what I need, I have plenty of higher RPM power, but weak(to me) under 4000RPM... I was leaning towards the Kenne Bell, but from what I got out of the article it builds power with RPM also, someone help me please, I'm a little lost here.

Definitely go with the KB over the roots, its a much better blower. Kenne Bells make full boost by 2000rpm, they are very similar to roots in terms of when they make boost.

A blower like a KB(Lysholm, twin screw type) is very simlar to a roots, except a lot better in many respects. It does everything a Roots blower does only better(except cost less)

Thank y'all, I just got my dream job in Brazil, so I'll be able to afford the new toys for my GT, I didn't realize the KB made power so quick! So anyway, I'll be working out of Rio for 28 daysthere and 28 days home rotation, terrorizing the US Gulf Coastwith all the new stuff I'll be able to do to my stang now.
