Default Rotrex Supercharger

Has anybody here heard of this SC or the companyForced Air Performance (www.forcedairperformance.com)? This is relatively new, but sounds good. Just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience or dealings with the company or the Rotrex SC itself.

I have. I was the track here in Utah. I line up againt anew Cadillac STS V supercharged.
He beats me.. 14.1 to a 14.3. (remember, we're in Utah.. N/A lose 1 sec, FI lose .5)
So, I would've beat his *** at sea level. Dang I always defend my altitude times, Anyways.......

So I start BS'ing with him and it turns out he's the head mechanic for Mountain Performance.
They specialize in snow mobile superchargers. He tells me they're starting to do cars now..
which it seems they are..new website forcedairperformance, same bat channel, same bat phone.

I know alot of imports use the HKSrotrex on there 350z/g35 etc. It sort of looks like a centri but much smaller and spins 100 times faster. Supposed to be new kind of SC. High end of a centri but with good low end power.

Hi end and low end power is what got me. Good write up in MM&FF. $5895 for the turn-key solution, so it is in the same ball park as others.

They had a rotrex kit for the s2000 but it never really took off because the Greddy turbo kit is C.A.R.B. approved and made better low and high power for about $1500 less!

They had a feature in either MMFF or 5.0 about this relatively recently. Don't know which b/c i get both but I'll and find out. I think they put it up against one of the manifold blowers too.
