They both are positive displacement blowers but the twin screw is far more efficient than a roots style.
As for which is better - centrifugal vs. roots vs. twin screw thats another looooooong post.

do they? i have a little experience with both kinds of superchargers.....but i personally like a roots style better then a centrifugal mainly due to lifespan....
but i do believe you know more on that subject then i do...i am a "second hand" mustang man.....the woman prolly knows a little more on this then i do!
i have seen a shitload of centrifugal S/C's that have had a bearing go out in them not long after install...but that may be due to installation.
hell...just slap a T78 turbo on it and be done!

Re: WHAT THE F*CK
that is why they make turbo timers!
most turbo's i have dealt with have a lifespan of about 50-100k miles.
if treated right...same thing goes for S/c's. abuse is not tolerated by engine parts (or trannies for that matter) at all!
