Actually, it was the first and only Eaton twin-screw supercharger. Eaton sourced the rotor packs from Lysholm. Suffice it to say, Eaton has since steered clear from that route; that's why we now have the TVS series of blowers, and not an Eaton twin-screw series of compressors.

The supply issue, or lack thereof, is what also ultimately led Eaton to abandon making twin-screw superchargers of their own.
Kenne Bell used to source their 4/6 rotors from Autorotor, but have since changed suppliers as well. They're made somewhere in Sweden, if I'm not mistaken.

Just FYI, both the Saleen and new SMS superchargers use Lysholm-sourced rotors ("screws"). The SMS unit also uses Lysholm's cylindrical "Laminova" intercooler cores.
EDIT: Vortech's new VTS line of twin-screw superchargers use Lysholm rotors, too.

The aluminum block in the '11 GT500 is not a dry sump. This isn't the Ford GT engine. Ford has offered a wet sump 5.4 aluminum block for some time now.
