RE: supercharger questions
Hey bro, I'm actually saving up for a supercharger as we speak but from what I've heard Procharger is one of the leaders when it comes to superchargers... But I guess it comes down to how much cash you got.

RE: supercharger questions
Also when you look at which superchargers - know the difference... Roots/Twin Screw are basically torque makers... they create TONS of Torque down low... Centrifugals run a bit like turbos - where there a lot less lag... it takes a moment or two to get them going compared to a Twin Screw/Roots, but they are deadly from a roll race...
They are both great types of blowers... if you run at the track typically the Centrifugals will get more up top vs the Roots/Twin Screw getting more down low... I like the Roots/Twin Screw because of the low end power, that keeps all the way up to my redline... but its more of what you prefer.

RE: supercharger questions
yea, ive been comparing the two, i like the procharger cause i can keep my factory strut bar ect, its intercooled and makes a little more top end power. but on the other hand i like the idea of low end torque from the KB. But on the strip would it be better to have a twin screw or a centrifugal. Cause the procharger would launch alright, keeping some of your traction while the KB would launch hard as ****, but also loose some traction.

RE: supercharger questions
i wanted a KB just like every other guy that owns a mustang. but as i am just like a lot of the other MFers, IM BROKE....so i went with the Vortech, and let me say, it was the best decision. if your gonna do a blower, do a centri and check into the vortech or paxton. im not crazy about the prochargers because they are self contained. but they make good power (MYLONGVICTOR can prove that). all in all they are all good, just stay away from powerdyne.
