Everything about this engine, which is hand-built in Wixom, is impressive.
There's the Roots type supercharger with a four-lobe rotor design (I don't know what the means either, but it sounds cool). It's mated to a charged cooling system that lowers the temperature of the air going into the cylinders by 140 degrees (I do know that cooler air carries more fuel and improves performance).

I like that part.
