Supercharger guys tell me that inefficiency with roots blowers are due with the throttle demands. Roots blowers are best at fixed RPMs. If all the power requirements are meet without changing RPM then the best efficiency should be achieved. The same load can be pulled with a vehicle with a much smaller displacement, V6 instead of a V10 or V8. when the extra power is no longer nessesary the diesel engine simply won't be started.

Has anyone looked into the shaft RPM of the air conditioning compressor and alternator that works most efficiently ? I can make the pulleys for the system that will put all the components in their "sweet spot".
