The Dream Works supercharger is your best bet. Here is a link. As you can see it produces monster power and torque.

Jokes aside, I am local to the shop that was the Dreamworkes HQ and spoke quite a few times to the 2 guys that were designing it. Ripping people off was never their goal in the project, they really did get into it with best intentions. The design was good, although quite a bit overengineered. As I understood the issue, the design was so complex, they could not get the production price below 10G, and that makes any TT kit seem cheap by comparesment, especially considering that most of them are good for 600 whp at the very least...

This is a good lesson to tuning companies. This is how it should be done:
1)Get an idea
2)Design product
3)Build prototypes
4)Test prototypes
5)Smooth out the kinks
6)Market product
7)Make money

If one advences the step #6 to position #3 to get to #7 quicker is definately asking for trouble. That is how you become the butt of jokes on the e-forums.

The most amusing thing about this, they have set out to design a better Stillen blower b/c that was the only other thing available at the moment, and completely disregarded the benefits of small ball bearing turbos...

Come on booger isn't this more fun than telling them to use the search function, lol. My vote goes for TN followed by the Vortech and then the Greddy.
