FWIW dept.:

It seems like multiple companies are making belt-driver centrifugal 
superchargers on basically the same model.
 From what I've read so far, Paxton and Vortec have merged, even though 
they seem to have completely separate sites.
Or maybe Paxton was spun off again after the merge?  The products look 
almost identical except for the name on the scroll casting (same 1 - 4.7 
gearing.)  Then there is  Procharger; again a Vortec Clone, it appears.

Take a look at this setup, specifically for a 13B: [

Hmmm.
