Sellout, do you know if Whipple has anything like that available?
Whipple doesn't publish them, neither does Kenne Bell apparently. You can find some for Lysholm superchargers, but the adiabatic efficiency is measured in a different way than it is in the TVS roots maps, so they look like crap. (They measure it based on power input or some crap, resulting in low numbers.)
