[QUOTE="AZ ERIK, post: 7392437, member: 27232"] I understand all this, I have even had my eaton and whipple and a 2.6kb appart on my work bench. I'm also a machinist and understand the profile and helix of all of these rotors. I'm not being stupid here, I'm asking completely valid questions. If an eaton is a roots, and kb's and whipples are called twin screws are then not, by rule definition outlawed on NHRA tracks? By the 'screw type superchargers prohibited' rule in many places. I can not find a single area in the book that states specifcs about safety equipment required. The whole reason this came up is I need to get a jacket, and needed to know the spec on it. I only found 'prohibited' statements. I know the 'aftermarket supercharger rule' exists yet I can't find it. Going back to the twinscrew question, if it's a matter of the rotor profile couldn't the eaton be called a 'twin flap' blower? As the rotors are the same and mate very closely, just like the whippy? I agree it probably is a misuse of words that's causing this confusion for me, besides it was only a question, nothing to get anyone upset about, I was just thinking aloud. [/QUOTE]
