I beliebe KB is putting out a twin screw kit for the LS7. If you look at their website, the LS7 is listed as engines covered. I emailed them and asked for details on the LS7 kit, and was told they havent put it out yet but it was on its way.

Roots are inefficient and worthless in my opinion. Go turbo or twin screw and save the headache and power loss.

What makes them so inefficient? Does everyone agree with this?
