Roots supercharger for JK
Just wondering if anyone is producing a roots-type supercharger for the 3.8L?
From what I understand, the centrifugal compressors used in the RIIP kit & others produce much of their boost above 3000RPM, wheras most of us would find the torque of the V6 at lower RPMs to be needing improvement.

Jack is a good guy, but isn't very web-friendly, so there really isn't a lot of easy to find info on them. (unlike RIPP, who is an active sponsor here) Your best bet is to search around online and maybe contact them directly and ask for a few referrals to some of their S/C owners.
They are just down the street from me, so I can even drop in and ask a few q's for you...
