Z4MC vs Z4C 3.0 ESS Supercharger - anyone driven both?

Sorry, I meant to respond sooner.

My ESS supercharger was bought back in 2007 I think and was a Lincoln twin screw unit.

No dynos I'm afraid, was 12 years ago. The twin screw will have made more torque than the Vortech unit as it isn't reliant on RPM to make boost like a centrifugal charger, in fact it made maximum boost at around 1500rpm, so was very torquey.

Are you going to go for it? As I said, my primary concern is the drive-ability at lower rpm.
