Default Re: Factory experimental

Based on the rotor profile and port geometry of a screw compressor there are areas within the supercharger where the air is compressed, this does not occur in a roots style supercharger which is purely a positive dispacement device with no internal compression. Introduce nitromethane to a screw compressor and you are trying to compress a volatile fuel - Kaboom
