Kraftwerks or Comptech?
bored so I'm just wondering what your guys opinions are on the two and which do you think will be the better supercharger..?

after seeing the gains for the ap2 s2000, i see that skunk2 and jackson racing did a really good job on their kits...

and is anyone waiting for the kraftwerks?

I haven't seen too much about the kraftworks s/c. I would wait and give it the time of day, that's for sure.

Waiting to see how the Kraftwerks measures up to the rest. But im optomistic and think it will be better. Do you guys think that the dynos posted on their site are any indication as to what kind of power we can expect? I know they are for the S2K/Fit and are completely different motors, but what do you think?

how would you benefit from this? i am curious to see how this would work. im sure you will be posting pictures if/when it happens. i will look for it.

keep in mind that the rotrex is alot more efficient than a comptech in the flow dept. also, turning 2 superchargers will effect your horsepower and torque numbers in a negative way. you would be better off going with the rotrex and running higher boost.
