Quite a bit more in cost but has anybody seen this Supercharger?

I'm trying to find out what it weighs.  I think the non-intercooler

model would do at 6psi boost.

Hi Vaughn,

this is the same as the Lysholm-Charger or the KenneBell-charger(for
Ford-applications).
I understand it was developed in Sweden, but various companies have licences
for manufacture and/or distribution.
Looks a little like the convoluted new Eaton charger.

Just go on the net and look for any of them:

Lysholm
Whipple
KenneBell

This is one application where a water-air cooler works well for space.
You sandwich it right between the intake manifold and the compressor
(sorry......charger).....
Some higher power applications for cars use this system!

As you mentioned, it seems it is the most expensive supercharger on the
market, but for cars also the best compromise, as it "pulls" from rather low
rpm all the way up.

Cheers,
Thomas Jakits
