isn't it just a centrifugal (sp?) supercharger?

yup, but the internal drive mechanism isn't gear based. Supposed to be rediculously effecient. The flow maps certainly indicate that that's the case....

STrim Rotrex + 2L NGC = gooooood

ok so its not that new.....its tbe best option so far of any supercharger though...

it's compact size makes it much easier to use the a roots or twin screw, and mroe efficient than a standard gear drive centrifugal...

it is indeed fairly new, not like yesterday. But within the last year or so.

It is a supercharger that spins at turbocharger speeds, and is MUCH more efficient than a supercharger.

The little one would be perfect for our cars, and its compact enough for going where the A/C unit is.

actually, i've done some math.....our 2.0's and 2.4's would need the C30-94...depending on how much boost you want...

myself since i'm going to building a 2.4, i'll want max boost, so the C30-94 is a must...otherwise i'de have to run twin units and that shit is just too complicated for me
