Roots or YSI What is the difference in driving a car with a roots to a vortech YSI . The only supercharged car I have ever drove was a ford thunder chicken 3.8 sc. Now I have built a 408 with a 9.5 -1 cr and just wondering the difference and how they would react on my built 408 . in my TA
Roots will give you more of a instant torque and power feel but fall off in the upper RPMs, YSI which we have 3 cars here with it on them pull hard from 3k on up and doesnt stop.
So its basically low end power or mid to upper power. I will have more feedback about the roots TVS2300 once we get this TBSS finished, this blower should pull all the way due to its size and amount of boost we will be pushing. Looking to see 850 AWHP.

I'd expect a blower as big as the Ysi to make more overall hp up to but a roots will make better tq at lower rpms. Guess it depends on if it's more of a track car or more of a street car. Can't go wrong with either of them really.

I agree with you man. the YSI unit you will be a ton happier with it. I have one on my car now 857 rwhp. I did have a kenne bell and pulled the heat soak blanket off the car. Plus only diff was chg out the unit and making over 200 rwhp with the YSI. And again the YSI unit will not stop pulling on the top end until you let off the gas. I got mine from A/A in CA. Andy and steve there will do you excellent man..
Yes that is true, one of the cars here is a c5 z06, he had an A&A v3 and ran it at 10 psi did 710 rwhp stock ls6. Swapped over to the YSI for his new setup and saw 695 rwhp at 8 psi still on the stock motor. The YSI is so much more efficient and the car is insane at WOT!
Hope this helps the OP
Don't you guys think the Ysi may be overkill for a street car though? A well setup 2.8 Kennebell would be a monster from stoplight to stoplight esp in a 408. Either way I hope the OP has some serious suspension and tires for all that power!

If you look at all the KB or Maggies all or low end tq here. Shi? with that even at 650 rwhp you will not do nothing but blow the tires of the kenne bell. With the VSI it comes in after 3,k to all the WOT you will put to it. The vsi is alot less trouble at the lower RPM. LS1 Tech Stories

All 3 of the cars here with the YSI are full weight street cars that put down right about 700+ HP.
The power comes on fast and violent as the rpms climb, I think the OP would be very very happy with a YSI.
YSI is just like running a F1 on the street, there is never too much power. Kennebell is a huge heat pump unless you have meth.

yea true a 408 and YSi/F1 would smash on a lot of big blocks, but some of the larger cubed nitrous big block cars out there are pretty insane too hahaha
