    Is this going to be an NHRA Legal blower, and if so what are the differences going to be when compared to a PSI?

    Yes we are in the design stages of a screw compressor. As Adam said a legal one is on the board as also an "ADRL/outlaw" version are being looked at. Kobe shows little interest in this specialized market, however; Jon and I feel an option for the customer is needed. And has been since Art Whipple stepped out of the market. As all involved projects it takes time to do it right, we are not racing to complete, rather looking to bring to market a part that shows we have pride in our product and love what we do.

    The super hi-helix is a unit I have been working on for a while now. It will be run this year on Rod Trowers Sand Dragster. Not a legal roots blower, but wasn’t intended to be a unit for any legal venue. It was built to put on my Friend Rod's car so I can hear him say "Hell I don’t know it just works"
