similar style to the vortec supercharger. I would bet they make the same hp curve, as they are both belt driven turbos.

i think the supercharger is smaller so the boost might come in earlier

JR doesn't plan on making any kits for B-series motors.

I asked Oscar Jr. about getting one of the Rotrex blowers on a B-series, and he said they don't have any plans to support it. Considering that the B-series isn't in a production platform any more, I'd say chances are slim for a bolt-on application. Of course if you don't need AC, then it looks pretty easy to bolt a mounting plate to the AC mounting spot and put a blower there. I've seen that DIY setup done with Rotrex and Eaton blowers.

My understanding is they use a different gearbox system that lets boost come in much sooner.

They still use a fixed ratio drive that spins a centrifugical compressor. There is an electronically-variable-ratio drive in the works though, and that will make their blowers much more attractive to me.

Go to http://www.rotrex.com , click on "Technology", then click on "Research & Development" to find out more.
