Each have their pros and cons... a centrifugal supercharger is more efficient in terms of power delivery. It sits somewhere in between a supercharger and a turbocharger when looking at efficiency. They have a tendency not to run as hot as a positive displacement SC. They are well suited for our cars since we have light small cars that rev high. Usually they are completely self contained so no need to run oil lines to the supercharger which makes installation easy. It really comes down to what kind of motor you are running and what you are going to do with the car. On a low revving large displacement motor a positive displacement SC would better...

I would love to see a comparison with dyno results with the blitz verus the rortex both running at the same psi. I have a feeling the centrifugal supercharger will produce more hp but the blitz will delivery more bottom end power. And bottom end power is what these little motors need.
