Default Supercharger question...

I'm leaning toward a SC over a turbo. I think it's time to charge up the bee!! (well almost... about another 4 months)

Anyway, my understanding is that a roots or twin screw is a more efficient power source than a centrifugal SC on low idle. Does anyone manufacture either of those types? Does it really make that much difference?

I am really liking the stage II GTM and will most likely go that route with a pulley swap if I cannot find a roots type (if it even makes sense over a centrifugal).

Any education here would be appreciated.
