I-Helix Blower and Rootes Hello all. Just got through visiting my local track and watching the Flowmaster Palooza Pro Mod event. Great races. Anyway, I've been wondering what the difference was between a regular Rootes and an I-Helix blower. I asked one of the Pro Mod guys (Tommy Lipar race team I think? Nurse Tiffany if that helps at all). He said their is no difference, he said it's all in the rotor angle. Most I-Helix's are 120 degrees and rootes are usually 60 degrees? Where is he getting the degree from. I might have not worded what he actually said due to the Pro mod car running and he was busy. But is that what the difference is?
Thanks,
Philip S.

You would be referring to Hi-Helix.. I think it mean how many degrees of "twist" are in the rotor...
