Have you had a look on Google for Vortech and Rotrex?

Lots of info around if you try hard enough! The specs are out there!

Rotrex is the choice IMO.

I'd have rotrex over a vortech/comptech due to the design of the rotrex/blower.

Iv'e only seen a vortech so cant comment on fitting or quality,but the standard of finish,the quality and the power delivery an the Rotrex would probably take some beating.I took mine off, all apart from the fuel pump in around 4 hours.I think you could fit one on your own in around a day.It probably took me just as long to take the inlet manifold off(unrelated to the supercharger)

Rotrex is quieter at idle and does not need oil feeds or returns
Vortech has a better filter shroud

Rotrex is a superbly advanced design; its clever drive system means it's more of a belt-driven turbocharger, if you excuse the oxymoron.
