    superchargers.

    i feel like starting some good debate. whats everyone veiws and standing one superchargers, paxton, vortech, Procharger, whipple, kenne bell,
    though on pros, cons, on centrifugals, twin screws, roots. i went to school for it so i fugured i get some more feedback from the people who use them. i know what my favorites are, but what do you all think. my bests are PROCHARGER and KENNE BELL. both top of there game and they each have there own pluses.

    Well, I have a fox and I just put a Vortech on it. I love it.Whistles real loud and builds boost really quick. My neighbors thought a 747 was landing in the yard the other day!!! HAHAHA I need to do some reading on tuning and learn some more here brfore I can really enjoy it.

    i am a roots lover because of there quiker power, but they kinda fall off on the big end a little, that seems to be where centrifugals shine..

    After working on Mustangs for a living and selling all the blower listed, I'd go with Vortech, KB, or whipple. If it's a street car KB or Whipple would be more fun on the street. The down side is they are harder on the car since the boost is instant, but that's what make them so fun. I'd stay away from Procharger if it were me. I've seen too many problems with seals leaking and the blower totaly failing. Plus trying to call Procharger to get RMA#'s to send customers blower back usually turned into an all day event trying to get through.

    im personally a KB fan myself. that might have something to do with the fact that i have one, but they are a ton of fun. the torque they put out is incredible

    I personally like whipple's over the KB's. They don't have the problem with oil shooting out of the snout or beathers like the KB's do at higher boost levels, and the Whipples typically run lower air intake temps at the same boost levels.

    Love my Procharger! Had if for 2+ yrs and haven't had a single issue with it. It's hard on the tires though.

    I have been running my vortech for about 4 years and 50k. Never an issue and makes great power for a little s-trim.

    I've been researching my supercharger, and its tough to find information on it.

    It's mistaken as an SN95 Stage 3 Roush supercharger, but the Stage 3 SN95's did not come supercharged. The supercharger/manifold was created by Powerdyne, but all they make anymore are centrifugal units. The biggest throttle body, as far as I know, for the intake/sc is 70mm, and I have one from BBK on the car already. And soon when I get my gauges in, I'll be able to tell you what kind of boost it can put out.

    No the KB's have a loud high pitch wine, while the whipple still wines but is not really that loud.

    Just go turbo and forget the SC period, the numbers in my sig from my old car were made on 20#'s of boost with 28" ET streets, put on some street tires and the numbers will be close to 700rwhp/730/rwtq, try that with a supercharger. Plus you can control the boost with a turn of a knob, no pulleys or belts to play with, and they are very streetable at those hp levels.
