[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1427016, member: 20286"] Pretty sure the new GT500 has the clutched blower. I saw it on a cutaway of the GT500 engine, and it's shown on Eaton's site when you look up the model number they used on the GT500. [URL]https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/products/engine-solutions/superchargers/tvs-overview.html[/URL] They talk about it's use in compound setups, but the GT500 is obviously all supercharger. That clutched drive is awesome. No amount of bypass valves will make a supercharger as efficient as one that is 100% disengaged with a clutch. Imagine how much cooler it'll stay not spinning those rotors like mad for no reason. It's really the holy grail of power IMO. Instant, maximum boost across the entire RPM range, yet it can be de-coupled from the accessory drive and consume no power and generate no heat while it's not in boost. What's not to like other than the added weight and any potential maintenance of the blower itself. [/QUOTE]
