I have the Paxton 2200 installed by Brenspeed, I love it I can't comment about a twin screw never had one. However I can't imagine anymore power at low rpm then what I now have, traction is a huge problem for me. Getting to 2500 rpm with the proper gears is no problem, my opinion centri is the way to go.

Yeah, for the most part. The 2 best bang-for-the-buck units are:

- Roush M90, available online for $4299 for your 2010.

- Vortech/Paxton from Brenspeed for $3899 (recently sold for $3599 on sale)

I still dont get it completely, the cheaper Vortech kit at Brenspeed makes more power than the more expensive HO intercooled Vortech kit at AM, CJ Pony, Late Model Resto etc. It looks like the Brenspeed kit includes the following as quoted from their site:

"Our package also includes Ford Racing 39lb fuel injectors, Brisk Spark Plugs for a supercharged application, Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump, IAT (Intake Air Temp) relocation kit, and a SCT X3 programmer custom tuned by us to meet your needs"

Brenspeed claims 150 RWHP while the HO kit at the other vendors claims 162 HP at the crank.

Also i have read that the Vortech/Paxton are not good when the temp drop close 0 deg! (if you drive the car in the winter)

I haven't had any issues in three winters since I put it on...not to say that it doesn't happen....lol, but it is my DD and i do live in Ohio. The only thing it does at startup is whine a bit...but only for a sec.

...as far as the HP...as I look at the AM kit...

this is not the H.O. kit....the H.O. kit from Brenspeed is an additional $1600(i think), and will give you more PSI and makes about 50 more HP.

Vortech and Paxton claim anything below 25 degrees can destroy those blowers. Its right in the owners manual.

You can get the Magnacharger for 3899 from J&M Hot Parts, great company. The sc is based on a 112 Eaton with intercoooler. A guy on another board has a Maggie and has a smaller pullley, over drive crank pulley, FR Hot Rod cams, LT's, 62mmtb and a larger heat exchanger and laying down 525 rwhp. The are other better sc's such as Whipple and Kenne Bell, but for the money I dont thint it's to bad.
