This site contains everything from descriptions of various types of operating systems ie. Roots, Twin Screw, Cent. Turbo etc. Also explained is things such as volumetric efficiency and Adiabatic Efficiency which are helpfull to understand when purchasing a forced induction system.

That is good info but a little misleading where they don't specify that the roots description they talk about applies to the smaller roots superchargers but is different for the larger ones

Ya I see where it could be slightly misleading, I just thought it would be a good page for someone trying to learn alittle about FI.

It is.....lol I still haven't found a site that has a full comparison of all forced induction plus engine component recommendations for each but then most sites are geared at selling a certain product so the info always seems to be a little slanted. For someone trying to learn you sorta have to read a lot then sort it all out. I have a list of sites with good info and just added that one to it thanks for posting it.
The one thing I would like to find is some Dyno graphs of the diff type of forced induction side by side so when people are asking questions and are not sure what they want to do they can compare the differences in the HP/TQ and when and how fast it develops between all of the types

I dont know of any site that has the info side by side for comp. However If I search around on pt.net I could most likely find enough dyno charts to produce something similar. It will be hard to find because of the wide varieties of dynos used as well as elevation. I mean obviously such things such as the tranny makes a huge difference in the final output. It would be nice to find a given motor that is tested at one elevation with various FI systems, however even this presents a problem. Take Gm engines for example, one FI system might excel on a 4.8L however if you put it behind a 6.0 or a stroker engine It might no longer be the top contender. Sooo soo many variables and not enough money to test them all.... Would be a sweet job though:)
