Really no different than a roots blower...Especially with that transmission driving it...Should burn up some horsepower....
 
deffinatly will take HP to turn it BUT...Boost and CFM #'s are quite a bit higher than on a roots style blower which is the main reason for it being direct drive instead of a big blower belt.

ProCharger compression is more like turbos than positive-displacement forced induction such as a Roots.
 
Instant boost and boost right off of idle....This would easily allow a puller to leave the line under boost and roll into the trottle under full traction with a crower or similar clutch just like the gasser guys have done for years!

Get ready to break more parts though comming up thru the torque curve like that though!!!

I shoulda been more specific when I stated that...I was meaning its going to be just as parasitic as a roots blower running through that transmission...
 
Sure, they're mechanically parasitic - though not to the extent that lobed rotors are... positive displacement requires more crankshaft HP.

Some would say a gear-driven centrifugal compressor like a ProCharger is the best of both worlds.
 
there was one already here in GA. I think it was a F-1 Procharger and a GT-42 turbo. The block is split now prob from too much boost. here is a video, never made a full run from blowing the boots off
