In the grand scheme of things, is a high impeller speed more important than efficiency or reliability? Spinning a compressor at a higher impeller speed to produce a lower cfm flow at a lower efficiency point of operation does not sound like an advantageous way to approach things from our perspective. Besides, what does the impeller speed maximum matter if the compressor you have will flow more cfm and make more boost than most people could possibly ever want/need for a particular application?
There is no question that there is a smaller, more compact unit that can be spun to a higher rpm out there...but none of things make it operate better or more reliably than a Vortech. The first commercially sold unit we ever produced (Serial #00001) has over 300,000 miles on it, has been used for many magazine torture tests, has been on multiple different engines and combinations including a drag car and a Silver State Challenge car, and is still going strong today. It has never needed any service of any kind for it's entire 22+ years of existence. That kind of reliability is practically unheard of from anyone other than Vortech.
