Comments on Reinhart v. Trilogy sc

[kingsford]

I was wondering if anyone has the Reinhart sc, and what the big differences are between the two. Please let me know what you think about each. I really want to get one but want to make an educated choice.

Thanks in advance,

Call each vendor and ask them personally, then privately ask members here. Take this advice as the gospel.

I think it's a matter of Roots (Trilogy) vs. Centrifugal (Reinhart). Superchargersonline.com has some good articles that go into depth on the advantages of each:

I believe that you're going to get quite a bit more maximum Torque/HP with the Reinhart kit, but with the Trilogy install you're going to be getting more Torque down low.

Great link, Nathan! I was expecting this marathon, technically obtuse essay on supercharger technology. On the contrary, the site offered very simple, short, concise and to-the-point descriptions of each type of blower for the lay reader. I also liked the pros and cons mentioned of each. Didn't realize that the twin-screw type blowers built up less heat than the Roots-style blowers. Interesting to know! Thanks!

...and closing this one 'cuz it's been answered in fine fashion and I'm pre-emptively striking before the mudslingin' starts...
