Default Forced induction on 2012 5.0

Ok guys so Iam wanting to take the nitrous out of my car next spring and install a different power adder. Which system is the best one to go with? And why please? And also I am wanting to stay at or under $6500.

Depends what you want out of it.
I like the idea of a smartly done turbo, with little to no lag, air to air intercooler, so you could run all day in the twisties.
And a turbo doesn't waste any torque, to make it work like a blower does, should be able to pump out higher torque than horsepower like a proper American engine should. LOL

Yeah very true. And the hellion single 67mm is cheaper than a roush/whipple.

If you're trying to work with that budget, I think a centrifugal supercharger might suit you. Instant power, lots of boost, and cheaper than whipple roots or twinscrew. Sounds like a jet engine too, although I'm more of a whine fan. Although if you could get a good turbo setup for that I'd go for that, but you also need to be thinking about maintenance, a turbo requires a lot more than a blower does.

stay away from the hellion 67mm set up it'll break your engine it's a junk kit. I'm sure the twin is a nicer set up. We could set you up w/ a really nice procharger, whipple, or paxton set up. the paxton should set you right around the price range you're looking for.

How would a procharger d-1sc complete kit run?

What is a typical price for a complete kit? And do you know rough Idea horsepower numbers with that kit?

a stage II tuner kit would run you just under 5,700. Would make 600rwhp quite easily.
