Pro Charger or KB
#71
Its funny you say people take it personal Rockwell, you tend to be the primary person with a centri to get defensive and try to bash on roots blowers any time a thread like this pops up.... Whether its cost heat or w/e..... some people don't give 2 ****s about cost as long as they're happy and it fits their style of driving.
And to all you people saying "oh heat soak" with a Kb take a look at the temp on this pic.
That's 4 hours of driving, city, highway 70-90 mph and twisties in the mountains in 80°..... Next time I will datalog it for you.... I know I had to turn my cel off after that drive due to t stat readings being to low.....

To be sure I didn't "bash" pd blowers i just rechecked my postings through this whole thread and I didnt Bash pd blowers. I know this doesn't pertain to stangs but i had a 98 pontiac gtp coupe with a3.8 and factory pd blower on it. No complaints about the power of it at all. No reason for me to have anything against them. If they were close to the same price i would look into putting a pd blower on my heavier than my stang tbird!

like stated it really just comes down to your style of driving. whoever is looking to buy...go for a ride in both different types. See which you like better and go that route. You are going to get all different feedback from all different members (as you can see). And then the turbo guy will come in and say that turbo's rule all. Thats just how it is. We all have blown v8 mustangs, lets just all agree that we have fun doing this

Agreed - Build your car to suit yourself. Just don't do something based on wrong info.

To be clear my dude i dont have a problem with you or PD blowers at all. I was set on a KB blower myself and got a chance to ride in both different types. The off the line punch was clearly there moreso with the pd blower but when I was kinda dead set on it a few years ago I hardly knew anything about centri blowers one of the mechanics in my unit started talking to me about them. That , the cost, and the test drive is the reason I went the way i did. I wasn't Completely aware of my options at the time. So that was/is my goal is to make sure all of the options are on the table and then decide from there its not my goal to bash the pd blower cars. After taking a ride in one years back I dont have nothing but respect for either type. I haven't been in a turbo 2v yet though!

I see alot of these threads and I never have issue with anything until false information is put out there. I never have a problem with any of the opinion posts and I never contest those posts.
A procharger F1R is a very nice supercharger and is not designed to run on 2V 281 motors. That is way too much blower for a 281 and would never be an ideal or good setup so thats not a fair comparison at all. Thats like me topping that by going ohh wellllll uhhh I'll take a 3.6L LC Kenne Bell over a procharger F1R. No **** I would but anybody who plops a 3.6L LC KB or a Procharger F1R on a 2V 281 is in la-la land and has too much money and not enough brains.
I love the self contained aspect of prochargers and I dont think i've heard anybody bash that here. I like prochargers a lot. One of my favorite cars i've ever seen was a 67 Camaro with a GIGANTIC procharger. This car had exhaust dumped out of the front fenders and it blew the cones away at the drag strip while staging hahahaha.
Go Go supercharged mustangs.

A door was open so Somebody decided to walk through it when Terminators were brought up! Hopefully Everybody is past that now if not so be it! Ya digg?!
