Now the x-charger isn't intercooled at that price range but the centri is. Based in intricately discussing the x-charger kit with the designer it's one of the best superchargers I've seen designed for the street. The paxton on the other hand looks like it was pulled out of some one's ass. It's shoddy design isn't that impressive compared to the v8 centris and even the Vortech kit for a Mazda3 looks better.

I wouldn't be surprised by looking at the ducting that the car makes even less than 10% less hp on the low end which is what paxton kits do with the v8's against twin screws, and it's not going to be as drivable as the x-charger which despite is high marks for power is primarily designed to be a safe and easy to live with setup.
VMP tunning has an 05 V6 with Vortech that dynoed at 395hp at the wheels (16psi ).
Good luck getting this with the X charger
I rode in the car... the ponies are there.
That car is a DD during the week and goes to the track on weekends.
It still has the stock engine.

Centris work well for DD if they're tune properly (the Vortech does anyway)


To the OP... You don't have to go radical with a Vortech system if you were to get one.
10 psi would give you about 300hp at the wheels while being very reliable.
The 4.0 mill has stronger internals than he 4.6 V8. That helps!
PM Rygen and anyone else that has a proven record with the V6 and you'll get the best advices on that subject...
