What do you mean "even if it were true"? It's been proven and backed up with results. And I just said what you basically did in my previous 2 posts. Stock/Mild build cars not going to make a big difference. Extensively modified cars it makes a much bigger difference just like larger throttle bodies and better flowing intakes do. With these transverse mounted superchargers, the lids are short which limits airflow without causing turbulence. When you spin these superchargers hard the flow efficiency improvements start to pay higher dividends.

Incorrect...The Whipple 2.9 on my SS is a screw type, along with the Hellcat superchargers. GM uses Eaton TVS roots lobes and has since the 90's.
