whats the way to calculate how many RPM's your blower is seeing? must be able to figure it out by RPMs, cog, and pulley size. so s trim with 3.12 pulley and non rev up cog set up see's X amount of RPMs(the blower) on avg at 6600 rpms(engine speed).
anyone create a chart to figure that yet?

Go to vortechsuperchargers.com and they have a rpm calculater.

I have one of the older ones. The new one looks much better and looks like it will bleed more air, but $245 is a little high. The one I have was only $79, but it is a much simpler design.

Another thing I would suggest on future revisions is a way to bleed post-intercooler boost back into the intake tract before the supercharger. Compression->heat removal->relief == significant temperature drop and a way to recover some energy that would otherwise be wasted on air bled off.

no reason to even put this after the intercooler. why cool extra air?

If the intercooler is sized big enough for even the extra air, then once that air is released it will be cooler then the ambient air temperature. Instead energy being expended to compress air then blow it back into the atmosphere, some of that energy will go towards creating a cooler inlet air temperature into the supercharger.
I don't know how much gains this would have in the real world, but theoretically it should result in more mass flow and more hp out of the engine.
