    I have always been running roots blower so i don't too much about screws.

    But i got a guy offering both a PSI and a Whipple. i don't know which specific model of either that he has. Which models am i looking for, from the different manufactures and how do i id them.

    This is for a top sportsman car running a 500 tfx hemi.

    Thanks

    Get pictures, the rotors are stamped on the psi's also
    just about any psi would work, the C,D, series are more prevelant. C's hard to come by as of late.
    Older ones would be worth less, as would a smaller series like a 200A.may be harder to certify if that is a requirement. Theres also a gas series that may not be best for your application. recertification date also plays into value
    Whipples are R980 and A980 the A makes more power and has an injector built into it.
    a standard hat bolts to the R980.
    Whipple has to turn less overdrive but its substantially larger and heaver than a psi
