Positive Displacement Supercharger for 2007+ sedan/X's? (whipple,eaton, ect)

I HATE positive displacement superchargers compared to a well designed/tuned Twin Turbo or Centrifugal system when your engine and "platform" allow you to TRULY take advantage of boost.

However, the G35's stock 3.5 engine and automatic transmission can't tolerate much boost.
So, a positive displacement supercharger's "instant" boost and simplicity are perfect reasons to run one on an otherwise 100% stock daily driver.

Any word on the development or release date of positive displacement supercharger for the G35 sedan and G35x?
Does anyone know if Whipple, Kenne Bell, Eaton, Stillen, etc. are working on a system for our cars?
Are they even considering releasing one?

Thanks.

PS
A Stillen rep claimed the ECU on the 2007+ G's is un-hackable and they will not be tuning or doing forced indution on them for 3 years.

Sounds like Tadashi from Technosquare, via Tectom, is already reflashing the ECUs.

Guess Stillen is behind the curve.

Stillen is a good company but IMO they are way behind times when it comes to electronics and forced induction.

Look at Rotrex superchargers. They used to make HKS superchargers.

Rotrex and HKS are "new kids on the centrifugal block" and are not in the same league as Paxton, Procharger, or Vortech.

I've kept myself current with forced induction since the early 1990's.
Check the screen name.

If you can take full advantage of their potential,
TT's are your best option; followed by centrifugals.

But for a daily driver G35,
I'd only consider a positive displacement blower for instant boost delivery and simplicity.
Whipple, Eaton, or Kenne Bell are the only manufacturers I'd consider.
