For Ford Motor Company, superchargers are the factory power adder of choice. The '03-'04 SVT Cobra, SVT Lightning, and Shelby GT500s all came from the factory with Eaton Roots-type superchargers. Not only does Eaton supply the factory units to Ford, but it also supplies many of the aftermarket companies with blowers for the kits they sell.

Following the success of Eaton's Roots-type supercharger, the company needed to take its supercharger offerings to the next level. Its Twin Vortices Series, or TVS, is a new four-lobe design created with one thing in mind-power. The TVS design features twin four-lobe rotors twisted 160 degrees as opposed to twin three-lobe rotors twisted 60 degrees in the Roots-type. The result is smoother, more efficient airflow and improved overall performance in a smaller overall package.

Whether you're looking to add a little extra punch to your daily driver or you're building a tire-shredding street machine, the FRPP/Whipple supercharger systems perform like no other supercharger system on the market today. From tip-in to redline, the new Whipple supercharger system makes over 40 percent more power across the entire rpm range while maintaining great driveability. The '05-'09 Three-Valve supercharger system raises horsepower to nearly 415 with only 6 psi of boost, and is available for automatic and manual-equipped vehicles. If you are looking for even more power, the HO system produces nearly 75 percent more power across the entire rpm range. The HO system adds a massive aluminum air-to-water intercooler, allowing you to run significantly higher boost levels, making it easier than ever before to reach the 500hp range. We ran one on Project MILF as quick as 11.40s at 120-plus with 20-inch tires.

Building on its strong name, Edelbrock stepped into the forced-induction market in late 2008. The E-Force supercharger is the first forced-induction offering from Edelbrock, and the results have been great. The E-Force uses an Eaton TVS-type supercharger as the base for this kit, which comes in two forms. The complete kit is 50-state legal and is designed to make 466 hp and 439 lb-ft of torque with just 5 pounds of boost. The system utilizes a low-restriction intake-manifold design with 15-inch runners for maximum torque and an integrated bypass valve for reduced parasitic loss. A high-capacity air-to-water intercooler, spark plugs, coil covers, and handheld flash programmer are also included.

The competition kit is capable of supporting 700-800 hp and is designed for off-road use only. Depending on the application, the kit includes the supercharger manifold assembly, an 85mm throttle body, an idler bracket, a belt tensioner brace, a water crossover, an intercooler and intercooler pump, a heat exchanger, idler pulleys, and mounting hardware.

Kenne Bell has been a player in the supercharger arena since 1991. Over the years, the company has been at the forefront of supercharger technology, and its new line of Big Bore twin-screw superchargers is no exception. The H- and S-Series superchargers are identical in construction and boost output, but that is where the similarities stop. "The challenge was to design two unique, ultra-efficient superchargers that use the least engine horsepower to pump the most air/boost at the coolest air temps in their designated boost range. I feel we met that challenge," explains Jim Bell, president of Kenne Bell Superchargers. The H-Series superchargers feature a redesigned discharge port shape that reduces air charge temperatures and parasitic loss. These compressors feature a 2.0:1 internal pressure ratio for improved efficiency at higher boost levels and are designed to operate in the 15-24 psi range. The S-Series superchargers feature a 1.4:1 internal pressure ratio and are ideal for the 6-14 psi range.

What separates one supercharger from the next? With Techco's Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw supercharger, the answer is "everything." Techco's unique design optimizes airflow efficiency with many original design features. The air inlet is the first obvious differentiator from many other twin-screws. Techco moved the throttle body to the front of the unit, allowing more direct airflow into the compressor housing. Once the incoming air is compressed, it flows into Techco's unique intercooler housing. The twin-intercooler design ensures the intake charge is evenly distributed to each runner bank. This design offers greater cooling capacity and higher thermal efficiency. A further benefit of the front inlet design is the additional space above the supercharger that is used for long, high-flow intake runners, which greatly improves low-end torque.
