Blower or Turbo

RE: Blower or Turbo
you will make 7-10 hp per psi with those bloweres (pro closer to 7, kb closer to 9) where as a single turbo (like in hellion hits) add 22hp per psi. dyno proven. if they made an efficent blower that didnt rob hp a sc would be the best choise. a turbo and a centrifical are really the same thing, neither will give you any lag down low these days.
if you want to make 700hp at the wheels, the block will let go long beofre and non of those options can flow enough air for 700hp. the best would again be the turbo, as at 18psi (the blower will make 18 psi without a regualtor) it can add 400hp, good luck with the engine surviving that much boost though. with those smaller blowers you would need upwards of 30psi amd neither is physically capible of making such power.

yea i know that prochargers more the battery, and i'll have a shut off switch for it, the kenne bell i'll custom make an intercooler for it, and the hellion is a little more that i'm wanting to spend

RE: Blower or Turbo
i get what your saying but i'm not saying i want 700hp right now, i want it in like 2 years, and as for mrbigshots not thinking the block will hold together i know stock blocks suck *****, and i get a free block for choice for one of my classes, and a set amount of money to finish the motor, i'll have 5000 maybe a little more by that time, and i want to have approx. 500 whp NA then hook up a turbo/blower to make the rest of the power

i think he is looking more down the road, so this wouldn't be a problem. the quality of the work on the hp performance kits and the power they make is amazing. you could always get the turbo and run low boost until your block can take it. hp performance is the way to IMO.
p.s. the kb kits for 5.0s suck *****. old design, have to fabricate any sort of intercooler
