Yeah, other than the shops that do the installs I doubt that you will find many people that have installed different superchargers. I can tell you I installed my Saleen supercharger and it was pretty easy with very good instructions. The tools required wasn't bad either. -Joe

I'm willing to bet the Procharger would be an easier install than my Saleen. You don't have to remove the intake manifold, and it's air cooled instead of water cooled so there's not much plumbing involved or messy antifreeze to deal with. Also you don't have to tap the oil pan like on some other centris. Not that I've installed a procharger, it just seems like it would be easier.

The easiest SC to install that I've read about (I know, it's not intercooled) is the Whipple low output. No fuel pump work needed.

Powerdyne is the easiest. You don't have to run an oil line.

Good point about the oil line, Prometheus.
