What's the difference? All the CVT's I've read bout ARE CV pulley systems.

Ummm. YUP. Worst for efficiency. No power rating will change the physics. Sorry if it offends you, but the fact remains, you put more power into a roots blower for the same output than you do any other style of blower. I've worked with roots and centrifugal blowers both, so it's not like I haven't seen the facts.

They're not doing the 100:1 thing. Most gearboxes for cars start at 3.5:1, not 35:1 or 100:1. That's the problem. If you can solve that reliably, you're in for a big payday.

That is what I want to know. I wouldn't put it past 420 or so.
