New style of supercharger

I was looking at Jackson racings website and it has changed completely....apparently it has changed hands...I was looking at it because i know at one time they had a prototype for a supercharger for the 3.0 and 3.2 and was wondering why they never produced it.....on the website they are advertising this new style of supercharger that looks quite interesting, supposed to be as responsive as a roots style blower without the "noise" but as usable as a turbocharger...I'm not too sure as to how well this will work for one, and two i highly doubt they will produce one yet again for our engines...but i thought it was interesting and maybe it be worth lookin at.....But does anyone know about why they never produced a supercharger? I saw it at one of the bigger car shows like sema or HIN..not sure which a few years ago and they had a prototype for out engines.....thanks for any info.....

They are using the Rotrex style blower now.

Oscar Jackson bought out Jackson Racing with was licensed to Moss Motors. This happened about a year or more ago.

Don't expect anything for our cars but a custom kit could be made.

Our cars are too old to see someone like Jackson Racing, Vortech, or other big names make a kit for them.

There's zero market to interest any big company to make performance parts for a dead old car.

Face it people!

It's a surprise that anyone made a supercharger for the CL with the production numbers. They make them for some cars with smaller production but most of those are more performance oriented.
