Been thinking about this blower for a while, as the bottle never gets empty and it gets on the torque faster than the vortecs, etc. It also clears my hood.

6 psi for a lightly modded daily driver 5.0. Anybody have any experience with this? Pro's, Con's?

don't give up on that vortech ..I love mine..but I herd the kb was ok.....as for the torque wish you ride in mine it's all there quick..<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

Thanks, vfast, good info. When does your vtech come on the pipe? From the research I've done, they're not as bad as a turbo, but it seems they don't get going until about 2500 to 3000rpm.

The KB is more for torque right off the bat, regardless (supposedly) of the pulley. And what vtech are you running? I'm aiming at a pretty much stock (inside) 5.0, so I don't want to go over 6psi. I'll de-tune my current set up regardless of what sc I go to, I'm not worried about that, but ease of install and upgrading are important.

Thanks

turbo are fun....I think if it's a cost issue super charger is the way to go
I have an ole s-trim.....I run 15 psi....6 pound will net something in the 50-75 hp...

Mike, turbo is too expensive right now. I was thinking kenne bell because it's a roots type that will clear my hood and it is fairly easy to install, plus the fact that the torque is there when you mash it.

Yeah vfast, I would not go to any other blower but vortech if I were running a centrifical (sp?) type. For a lightly modded motor I want to stay in the 6-8psi range.

I hear you jug, and after some more research, this is what I came up with. The kenne bell is a twin screw, as opposed to a roots, as opposed to a centrifucal. The twin screw produces boost from 2000rpm, and produces that full boost until redline. In other words, if you get the 6psi kit, it makes 6psi from 2000rpm to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6.

If you get a 6psi centrifucal (vortech, powerdyne), it makes 1-2psi at launch, 2-3psi at 3000rpm, etc., and doesn't reach it's full rating until 5 or 6 grand. How far in front of you am I when you reach your ultimum rpm? Horse power means nothing, torque means everything. I see dyno tests every day that show 400hp at 5400rpm and 430 lb. ft. torque at 4200. When the torque falls off, you're done.

I was wrong when I stated that I wanted a "roots type" s/c that would clear my hood. This is a totally different animal, a twin screw. The NHRA has banned this type of s/c for top fuel and funny cars, because they know how much more power and speed (re: dangerous to drivers) they would produce. These s/c's are currently installed on fords, chevy's, mazda's, jaguars', mustangs and many more as stock. These manufactures can build a smaller motor that thinks it's a big motor because of boost. No empty bottle, no WOT switch, no blown head gaskets. I'm already running one heat range colder than stock on my plugs, drop the timing a tad or two and at the least, with 6psi, 96hp. 6-10hrs for install, maybe a weekend, comes fully assembled and goes on in place of the intake manifold. And if you want to run after market heads, cams, etc., they will help you pick out the stuff you need, including injectors, TB's, MAF's, chips for automatic trans shift points, you name it. These people have done one hell of a lot of research, documented, and I'm impressed.

Makarovboy, is it the flowzilla that you are looking into, or the blowzilla? Are they resonably priced?

vfast

will if it has "zilla" in the name the jap car boys are going to run and hide *LMFAO* godzilla
