If both head units have a intercooler they usually tend to make similar numbers..

YOu'll be happy with either..

 

no need to argue. go to superchargersonline.com look under the tech section and read the vortech v. procharger arcticle. and oxfordgt if you don't have either stfu

 

hey hotwheels...

thanks... some people just know everything..

I spend 8hrs a day, 5 days a week on a dyno tuning cars.. I have been drag racing and tuning supercharged car's for 15 yrs... I have run every supercharger out there, done countless tests, seem endless combinations, but in the end, it doesnt matter.. Some guy read something online and thats gospel. Thats why i choose not to argue any more..

If oxford wants to look up my background, feel free to do a search on yahoo about me.

thanks bob kurgan

 

no problem

 

I went with procharger and have no regrets. Either unit you choose is a quality unit and will perform well with good driveability. The main reason I went with Procharger is b/c it is self contained, and not that I mind drilling a hole in the oil pan, but I like the idea of everything being seperate. In example, you have a non self contained blower and you spin a bearing or somethingand have metal shavings now circulating in your oil and they get circulated into your very expensive supercharger messing it up as well. So now you have to have your bottemend of your motor went through as well as gettinga newsupercharger head unit. And vice versa, in the rare event that your supercharger as some debrisit will getcirculated into your engine possibly ending the life of your motor. Thesewere justmy thoughts and reasoning for going with my choice to help you see other possibilities before making your final decision. Good luck.

 

i can understand your reasoning, but thats why they make oil filters.... if that doesnt make you feel warm and fuzzy, you can always spend $20 and put an inline filter in the supercharger feed line....

just giving my $.02

 

obviously whoever has a procharger will like that better and whoever has a vortech will like that better. Can't go wrong, you will pay more for a procharger because it comes with a i/c. or pay less and with the extra cash fab up your own for the vortech kit. choose out of a hat

 

No I don't have one on my car but I have installed plenty of both on different cars and the procharger always comes out on top so you stfu. I'm sure you had some shop install your vortech and really have no knowledge of how your engine works.

flyin_hawaiin I know who you are and don't need to research you. You are entitled to your opinion and your test results and so am I. I may not be old enough to have been doing this for 15 years but I do know what I am talking about and have tried different things to see what works best.

 

only reason procharger kits produce more is because of the intercooler, which you will notice ever kit includes because the damn heat those blowers produce....vortech blowers produce great numbers even without one

 

this is the the SMARTEST thing i have heard on this site... Vortech has an airflow engineer who actually knows a thing or 2 about impellers... procharger, on the other hand, goes and carves up an impeller on the CNC machine and then sends it out to the racers to "test"...

I know this because I did testing for them in the past.. they sent me 4 blowers and asked me to tell them which one worked the best... shoot, half the drag radial class runs different "f1r"s... this was proven at the NMRA opener in Bradenton when all the blower guys got torn down and 5 Procharger guys had illegal blowers..

People who "need" an intercooler are much better off with Meth Injection... the advantage of cool air charge, increased octane, cost, and install ease... thats how i sell my vortech kits if the customer wants to make 13psi+
