The roots is a decent blower, not my favorite, but perfect for making lots
of low end if you don't have a screwcharger option. Not sure what you'd
imagine a "good" blower to be for an SVX, since a roots or screwcharger for
the SVX run $6200+ for the kit alone... and since if you went centrifugal
you'd be fabbing a custom setup anyhow, for all the work and money involved
you're better off with a turbo, and a weddle for when you chunk your tranny :)
