Lysholm instead of root type... Why not? I use one on my yamaha snowwmobile and its really efficient... like 90% efficient instead of the usual 50-60% of roots type.

There are twin screw blowers in use on some LSx's They are just not as common due to cost, and lack of kits.

a roots and a lysholm blower are both twin screw, BUT the lysholm use a Male.Female 'screw' design which make it so much more efficient (less heat).
This is the same style as kenne bell blowers. But in my case (yamaha) I have a Opcon autorotor unit

Sorry, but you are wrong. A Roots is a twin lobe, not a twin screw.

Wrong words I guess. I ment that they have two rotors. You are right, they do have 3 lobes, and helical. They are considered a Hyrbrid design because of the helical lobes, and front (or rear) fed intake. But it's still a Roots style compressor due to how it compresses the air. Which is down the sides of the case, to where a twin screw compresses it in between the rotors.

Kenne Bell = Autorotor = Opcon
Opcon also makes the Lysholm line that used to be used by Whipple. Now Whipple is making their own superchargers.
All of the above are twin screw.
