Yet another reason *not* to buy KW.
who said superchargers are more efficient?...when we talk about efficiencies we are talking about compressor maps....comparatively speaking the rotrex and turbos (with comparably sized impellers and compressor housings) have compressor maps that are similar...differences in efficiencies would boil down to impeller wheel and compressor housing design.

if you read what i wrote, i said the rotrex is going have lower temps which will make more power, but the trade off was that it would also take a few hp to turn the supercharger.
