Default Paxton from brenspeed?

who has it and how do you feel about it? how does it compare to others..?

Ive always dealt with brenspeed, but i was really looking to go with a procharger... but he only offers intercooled paxtons, and nonintercooled vortechs...


if i did go with a procharger, where would be a good place to buy from, as in where have you guys had the best experience with...?


thanks

I have his Paxton Novi 2200, he installed it and dyno tuned it for me this March. I told him to keep it around 450 rwhp, it dynoed at 455 rwhp. I also have the steeda delete plates. The car runs great, I went to the track two weeks ago, ran two 11.9's 117 mph and two 12.0 116mph. He can tune you up too 480 rwhp without a problem but I elected to stay safe and keep it at 455 rwhp. He has many of these packages out there without a problem.

i would think with that much HP you would get better runs (not that those are bad numbers..), were you having traction problems?

cfr865, I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the Paxton kit from brenspeed but am planning a DIY install. I'm wondering about your guages, anyway you can provide me with info on what kind of guages you used if any? maybe even a pic would be nice too.
Is your car a daily driver??

I did have a little traction problem, (slight wheel hop)since I do have all stock suspension 11.9 don't seem to bad. However I'm going to add some BMR lca's and practice on my launch some more. This was mine first time to the track and first time with a car making this kind of h.p. I was able to get 1.9 60ft. but with some better suspension and traction hopefully 1.7 60ft. and a 11.6 e.t. will be my next goal.

Anyone have any good engine compartment pics of the paxton? I need to see how close the tubing comes to the strut towers.
