Hey there guys and gals. I've been toying with the idea of a supercharger for a long time now. However I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a roots syle (Blower style) supercharger that fits inplace of the intake manifold on the fox 5.0? I like Votec and their chargers, but I've never been a big fan of the turbine style, there's no real reason for this other than room it takes and looks, cheesy I know hehe. I was thinking of something in the style of the cobras superchargers. Anyway thanks as always!

 

Kenny bell makes one but it does not fit in there like the ones for the Modular engine.

 

and kenny bells arent roots chargers, they are twin screw type supercharger, the best supercharger for your care imo, procharger centrifical, the main problem with roots chargers are heat issues.

 

roots... reminds me of mad max

 

Get a Intercooled ProCharger ...

 

Dont centrifugal chargers have some 'boost lag' though?

 

compared to a roots charger yes they do. but they deliver the boost in your pwer band. imo i like roots chargers but the choice is yours. twin screw is basically a roots charger with 2 turbine thingys that compress inward. go for a turbo, you wont be dissapointed with that.

 

is it true that a t-5 can't handle the power of a supercharger?

 

I've heard this too, but I have not found anything to prove it, the only instance I saw with the T-5 not holding up was when the guy was boosting something like 18psi.

 

It will hold as long as your VERY easy on it...But don't think it will last forever.
