Aptenized Magnum with Graphite Rotors
Do you guys thinks it's possible to aptenize a magnum blower and then use a graphite coated rotor pack? What exactly are the benefits of using graphite rotors? If it's possible this combo. would kick a$$. Thanks.
Not sure but I think this combo would come out to be around $500 less then KB. Don't know too much about graphite rotors though. Someone want to point me in the right direction please. Thanks.

A roots can never be a compressor, just a blower. A twin screw is a true compressor (and a positive displacement blower).
The KB has the same boost curve as the Eaton and is simply more efficient across the board. Especially when overspun, a twin screw can stay in its efficient range, while the roots' efficiency drops off the map. In a recent test, at 9 PSIG, the Eaton outlet was 207 degrees, while the KB was only 165. Assuming an ambient temp of 70, the Eaton was about 35% hotter. At higher boost levels, the KB will just pull away from there.
Save your money -- no amount of porting or rotor coating can close the gap.
