Yesterday, Techco introduced a supercharger kit for current-generation (2005 to current-model-year, also called C6) Chevrolet Corvettes with the LS2, LS3, or LS7 V-8 engines.

The Techco Reverse-Revolution Twin-Screw Supercharger Takes in air, compresses and cools it through the shortest distance possible before cramming it into the cylinders. The supercharger’s 3.0-liters of displacement provides 6 psi of pressure and allows for about 600 horsepower and 535 pound-feet of torque.

The Techco C6 Corvette supercharger is priced at $8500. Boost upgrade kits are available for an additional price, which can give the engine 650 horsepower or more.

NEW TECHCO REVERSE-REVOLUTION TWIN-SCREW SUPERCHARGER FOR C6 CORVETTES
600 Horsepower!* And Guess What: It Fits Under the Factory Hood
Anaheim, CA, June 15, 2009–Techco, “The Technology Company,” has released a new Reverse-Revolution Twin-Screw Supercharger kit for all 2005-Current (C6) Corvettes equipped with the LS2, LS3 or LS7 V8s.
The unique Techco supercharger features reverse rotor lobes to allow front inlet induction for a shorter, more direct passage of air into the supercharger, resulting in cooler air and higher volumetric efficiency.* This revolutionary supercharger, designed, engineered and manufactured in-house by Techco’s talented team, made its debut in a supercharger kit for Dodge/Chrysler 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter V8s last year, followed by an application for Ford Mustang 4.6-liter 3-valve V8s in February 2009.
Like the Ford and Dodge/Chrysler designs, the Techco supercharger kit for the Corvette combines a large displacement blower with an ingenious dual-stage intercooler system featuring single-pass coolant flow.* The Techco supercharger’s 3.0-liter’s of displacement is the largest among all Corvette twin-screws, pumping approximately 50 percent more air into each cylinder during every intake stroke.** This highly efficient design produces the most horsepower and torque per psi of boost pressure (6 psi) of any supercharger on the market today, approximately 600 bhp/535 lb-ft versus the stock Corvette V8’s 430 bhp/424 lb-ft.
And it fits neatly and cleanly under the stock Corvette hood.* No other twin-screw or Roots supercharger can make that claim.
“ The ground-up design is advanced in every way,” says Techco Chief Engineer Bill Tally.* “From the in-house manufacturing of our Reverse Revolution rotor screws; front intake system; long, high-flow runners; stand-alone 8-rib drive system; and our patented dual A- Frame Intercooler system, no area of the supercharger was overlooked or taken for granted. This is a complete rethink and a clean sheet design that will take the industry by storm,” Tally continued.*
“Our TECHCO Twin-Screw Supercharger Kit for the Corvette is the culmination of everything we’ve learned in design and development since we first began supercharging V8 engines more than a decade ago,” adds John Spruill, Vice President of Engineering.* “With our large 3.0-liter displacement supercharger, the throttle response on-boost is amazing.* It’s a real blast to drive!”
What makes the Techco 3.0-liter Reverse Revolution Twin-Screw Supercharger so revolutionary is the unique design (patent pending), which optimizes airflow efficiency throughout.* Incoming air is fed into the front of the supercharger, not the back like conventional designs.* This ensures that the incoming air has minimal turns, eliminating restrictions, before entering into the supercharger housing.* Additionally, without the need for a complex inlet tube, the largest possible orifice size is maintained, maximizing airflow efficiencies.* The air then flows into the lobes of the Reverse Revolution asymmetric multi lobe compressor screws, where it is compressed, not merely moved, as in other forms of supercharging.* The compressed air then flows into the intercooler housing, which contains two intercoolers, mounted in an A-frame configuration to ensure the airflow is evenly distributed to each runner bank.* The patent pending Twin
Intercooler design results in higher cooling capacity and greater thermal efficiencies as the cooling water only has to pass through the intercoolers once, keeping the charge air cool.* A further benefit of the front Inlet Design is the additional package space above the supercharger that is used for long high flow Intake Runners, which increases low-end torque.* The resulting design of the Techco Reverse
Revolution Twin-Screw Supercharger allows air to move through the supercharger quickly and efficiently, without significant heat buildup, and at the highest resulting airflow volume and air density at low boost output.* The performance result is maximized horsepower and torque output.
And for extreme power-hungry enthusiasts, Techco is also offering Optional
Boost Upgrade Kits (starting at 10 psi), which offer increased power output from 650 bhp on up.
Key Features of The TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin-Screw SuperchargerTM
FEATURE BENEFITS

Lobe Screws Simplified design optimizes air flow efficiency throughout the supercharger and engine
3.0 liters / 180 cu. in. Displacement 50% more airflow than naturally aspirated engine for huge increases in bhp and torque
Front Inlet Induction with Integrated Bypass Short, direct, low-restriction air flow into engine; cooler air; every time you bend air you heat it up; improves volumetric efficiency
9.5-in Long High Flow Intake Runners Long runners improve bottom-end torque
Dual Stage Intercooler System with Single Pass Coolant Flow through the (2) A
Frame Intercoolers (118.4 Sq. Inch area), Large Capacity Heat Exchanger, High Volume Intercooler Pump and Recovery Tank
Higher cooling capacity and greater thermal efficiency equals more power; improved driveability in all driving modes—from stop-and-go traffic to wide-open throttle Open Element Cold Air Kit with High Flow Air Filter, Billet Aluminum Venturi and High Flow Inlet Tube Reduces air restriction into the engine; cooler air equals more power
110-mm Billet Aluminum MAFS (mass air flow sensor) Housing Aluminum design maintains orifice circumference to 0.001 in., providing accuracy for the calculation of mass air flow that is higher than the factory sensor
High Volume Extruded Aluminum Fuel Rails with upgraded fuel with 54 lb/hr injectors
Reduces weight compared to stock steel rails; better side- to-side pressure balance than stock rails; increased fuel flow

8 Rib FEAD (Front End Accessory Drive) with 2-piece harmonic balancer
8 ribs vs. stock 6 provides higher strength, improved durability and no supercharger slippage at high boost levels
Ultra Light Weight Aluminum Extrusions used throughout the design
Billet 6061-T6 extrusions are much lighter and stronger than cast aluminum with better surface finish and minimal machining; lightest twin-screw on the market
