Default stuck ( supercharger)

Ok I had some threads talking about superchargers now Im stuck again , I keep reading more and more I dont know which to choose now. Its stuck between:
Vortech ,
Paxton
Procharger

I wanta HIGH Boost supercharger and I think I would want one with the oil lines so it has better lubrication.
Which would have newer technology? I dont know what else to look for . Which out of these tends to break more?

-Is the Paxton Novi 2000 same as the Paxton SN 2000?-
I do want to run the car hard .

Right now im stuck on the Paxton Novi 2000

thanks

So I found 2 kits - Both Used

VORTECH V-2 SUPERCHARGER WITH BOOST COOLER
-V-2 SUPERCHARGER KIT WITH BOOST COOLER. THESUPERCHARGER KITHAS A 3.47 AND A 3.30" PULLED. THE BOOST WILL VARY DEPENDING WHAT YOU HAVE FOR HEADS, INTAKE, CAM, EXHAUST. THIS KIT HAS VERY LOW MILES ON IT,AND WILL COME WITH ALL NECESSARY BRACKETS, AND HARDWARE. THERE IS NO FMU BTM, AID AIR INTAKE. IT HAD AANDERSON POWER PIPE AND IS LISTED IN ANOTHER AUCTION. IT INCLUDES THE T-REX BOOSTER FUEL PUMP. THE AFTERCOOLER HEAT EXCHANGER IS NEW.
I stripped the car and the supercharger kit is off and every nut bolt clamp is in zip lock bags and very organized.

Price : $1500 + shipping
---------------------------

2)BRAND NEW POLISHED PAXTON SN 2000
-Thisis a BRAND NEW POLISHED PAXTON SN 2000 kit. The kit will fit an 87-93 mustang 5.0. brackets, bolts, inlet and polished outlet pipe, all hardware, clamps, belts, and Pulleys .It will come with an FMUto make up the fuelpressure the supercharger will need.And last of all a BRAND NEW POLISHED PAXTON SN 2000 with an HIGH OUTPUT IMPELLER. The kit can put out 8-12 pounds of boost depending on application and pulley size.This kit will come complete and ready to go where you will need nothing but a car to put it on. The kit is silent drive so nobody will know.
this is a SN2000 self contain. it uses tranny fluid as lubrication. no oil lines no hole in the oil pan to deal with.
$1900 + shipping
--------------------------------------

Either is a good choice, but intercooled procharger is the way to go

What makes you think that one with tapped oil lines gives you better lubrication? The procharger is self contained and lubricates just fine. Either way, all three are great choices. Personally I'd go turbo. But if I had to get a supercharger, I'd get the Procharger P-1SC (which is exactly what I have)

I agree. I have been doing research on sc's for about 6 months. Procharger is the way to go - thats my plan.

Ok thanks , I heard some things about the P-1SC im trying to think of what some people told me but they told me to go to the D1SC.

Im really liking the procharger kit , but I dont know what head unit to get P1-SC , D1CS or P600B ... whats the difference.

if I can get a brand new SN2000 for $1800 should I jump on it or save up for the procharger kit.

Default RE: stuck ( supercharger)

Here's a quick rundown of the differences:

P-1SC:
Max HP: 825HP
Max Airflow: 1200 CFM
Max Boost: 30 PSI
Internal Stepup: 4.10:1
Max Impeller RPM: 62,000

D-1SC:
Max HP: 925HP
Max Airflow: 1400 CFM
Max Boost: 32 PSI
Internal Stepup: 4.10:1
Max Impeller RPM: 62,000

P600B:
Max HP: 775HP
Max Airflow: 1200 CFM
Max Boost: 24 PSI
Internal Stepup: 3.05:1
Max Impeller RPM: 60,000

Everything else is pretty much the same. The dimensions, piping size, etc are all the same. For all intents and purposes, on the street level you're looking at the same units. You'll never hit the max boost, max HP, etc. so you might as well go with whatever you can get your hands on for a good price. Typically the P-1SC.

To answer your other question, I'd stick with the ATI Procharger. They are great units as far as centrifugals go.

yup procharger imo, it wasnt too hard to install substantial gains with the 3 core intercooler, the Self Contained unit is better in my opinion, no drilling or tapping of the oil pain, no worries about oil lines blowing off, my D-1sc on my car put down 574 RWHP 496 torque at 10 lbs. ive seen 302's put down 600 but for my case id like to keep the main webbings in my block in one piece. but if i was looking for high boost application id probly go with a helion turbo system, but it just didnt fit my needs or wants in my application so i stuck with procharger
