I've been reading up on superchargers for years, I'm just a tech nerd...

I would personally reccomend a Lysholm twin-screw superchager. Some sweedish dude invented this type of supercharger. Mercedes may use rotary lobe (Eaton) on some of their cars, but on high boost/performance applications they switch to the lysholm. Whipple is an aftermarket mfg of this type of charger.

Eaton are good for low-boost low RPM applications, centrifugal are good for high end power applications but have low boost at low RPMs and perform similar to turbos. The Lysholm uses internal compression in the screws giving good low end boost and is much more efficient in higher boost applications.

As long as you are looking for 10+ PSI and good low RPM power without sacraficing high RPM power, the Lysholm is the way to go.

The Mazda Millenia with the Miller cycle engine uses one of these chargers. It is a 2.3 litre V6 engine and the charger is compact. You could buy a used one of these and have it rebuilt. It would be a good match for a 3sge. You could also get an aftermarket one from whipple, you are looking at $1500+.
