Eaton M62 vs. Eaton M90 Supercharger
-M62, smaller lighter rotors
-M62, gets into boost quicker
-M62 physically smaller and easier packaging
-M62 on 4.0L makes 5-6 pounds boost, stroker 4.6L 3-4 pounds boost
-M90, requires only couple more HP to drive it
-M90 can use smaller pulley and will make more boost (M62 is maxed out)
-M90 better for 'strokers' and custom installs requiring 10-20 pounds boost
-M90 or M62 with pulleys for 5-6 pounds boost, either will work well on the 4.0L
-Which is better?  Neither, they both are good for the 4.0L

Used Superchargers
-used superchargers may require a new coupler, oil and front nose seals and possibly bearings, DIY rebuild kits on Ebay for $60
-because the rotors don't actually touch each other nor do they touch the case, they do not wear out. -Dirt ingestion may score the rotors and case
-always inspect the rotors for scoring and gouging, if seen, best to use a different supercharger
-most superchargers found in the JY are from wrecks which were most likely running well before the wreck
-most all used superchargers are not 'junk' waiting for a failure to happen as touted by others, even new superchargers are 'used' tomorrow
-at minimum, it is recommended to replace the coupler and new oil

Predicted HP/TQ = (1 + boost/16) x current Nat.Asp. HP or TQ
