I think one of the largest units would work well on a 3v. They have much higher adiabatic efficiency than even a vortech blower since they turn at a higher speed and have a smaller more efficient impeller. They run close to the speed of a turbocharger. (90000 rpms) Check out the tech on the site, the step up drive is pretty impressive.

They'd have to be under 5k since as much as I don't care for saleen their blower for the 3v is one heck of a unit, IMO. I think the head units alone are 2k right now.

Aww come on look at how compact it is! The intercoolers can be much smaller as well b/c of the increased adiabatic efficiency.

Also, a blower for more than 650 hp is being released, The C38-81..

As an addition to the current range of Rotrex C38 supercharger, the C38-81 has been released for production.

The C38-81 is the largest supercharger from Rotrex, but still shares the same compact exterior dimensions as the C38-61 and C38-71 superchargers
