it worth pointing out that the bigger blower necessarily better. These roots charger are not like turbos, they displace air to make boost and usually they have a engine capacity range they are designed to work with for the best efficiency.

As far as my limited knowledge can tell, both the 900 and 1320 are capable of running the maximum 2.4bar pressure ratio before getting to max speed. So there isnt a huge difference in max power between the kits as people will have you to believe.

Same reason I went wit this kit. I was at the track event this weekend and got to see the Harrop SC kit fitted up close next to my cossy. Its a nice bit of kit and fits snuggly in the engine bay. Its notably smaller and lower, so much so that a strut brace might fit.

regarding IATs roughly over ambient:

Cosworth +15C
Edlebrock +30-35C
Harrop +25-30C
