Is there anyone with a Roots type S/C??

I think it would be pretty cool to see a tC roll by humming...and I'm curious to see the power difference oppose to the TRD junk (no offense)

to much labor would have to pull motor to install s/c if you could find a root type s/c that would fit between motor and fire wall with all the money and time it would make more sense to go turbo

Too much work for too little gain. A turbo is more efficient in all aspects.

And an averaged sized turbo on 10PSI makes 300, with tons of room to grow. Roots S/C have limits on how much boost you can run. Go over those boost limits, and it will explode.

Apparently anything over 18PSI is a death trap for an M62. After you factor in parasitic drain, 18PSI is more like 14PSI from a turbo. S/C are a waste of time for 4-bangers. Turbos are much more efficient.
