I'm looking into getting a supercharger in the near future. Money is a factor, so I want the best bang for my buck. I still want to have great reliablity, decent gas mileage, and to try not to blow my motor at this point. So tell me what you guys think would be the best one to get.

Kenne Bell.....If you can pay for it

That rules out Roush. Personally, i'd say Procharger. Afterall that's the S/C that's on the fastest pump gas car in the world.. 8.xx something. I believe 8.66 eta

I don't want to come off sounding like a dick, but if Money, reliability and decent gas mileage are a factor, why are you even considering a S/C?? 8.5lbs of boost = great for engine internal reliabilty. S/C = 91 or better Octane = $$$$.
S/C @ 8.5 lbs of boost on 91 Octane = $$$$$$


If it's what you want, then go ahead and get it.. But it'd be smarter to just save up, do some more research, and build the right set up for your desires...

so any s/c you get you have to use 91 octane

Gas mileage should only really be effected @ WOT. Normal driving conditons shouldn't effect mileage.

All of them, quint-charged ftw

It doesn't have to be 91. I say that because the Cali guys don't normally get 93, do you?? You should tune and run your car on the highest octane available, for the best reliability, consistency, and performance... I don't want to get too scientific.. In fact, search the site, and you'll find out exactly why you want to run high octane. (pre-detonation, pinging, etc. are good search terms.)


True, and I understand exactly what you're saying, but the way I look at it is as such:

W/ out getting to "herbish," the majority of the guys asking questions on here are young, hormone filled guys.. The chances of MOST of them driving around town, w/ a S/C at just part-to-low throttle is very very small. In fact, even I (closer to their 30's) would have too much fun around town using more than 50% throttle... If you've got it, drive it...


But since it takes less effort/throttle to push the car the same speed, it may be a mute point, if they keep their RPM's a little lower...

that was a very good to the point statement! lol
