Default PAXTON

I am looking to buy a passenger side polished 12oo Paxton Supercharger for my 302W 65 coupe. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy in the east coast new or second hand. I also need the 650DP to go with it. I am coming over to the US in January and am looking to buy one there. Appreciate all the info I can. Thanks

Summit Racing usually has best prices.

You'd prolly be better off with a Procharger, but Paxton's are decent as well.

I have that kit on my 347.
I used mus Unl but if I did it again I would use these guys.

BTW I found PAXTON customer service and anyone I dealt with absolutely useless.
Most unhelpful ash hats in my entire build.

I've heard their customer service sucks, but have no experience myself with them. Prochargers cost more, but I've heard they have good customer service. Their kits are also on some of the fastest cars in the nation(Renegade, NMRA stuff etc.)

Procharger does not/will not make a bolt on kit(I tried years ago).They have universal which means its gonna be a pain and you will have to fabricate.Paxton support suck becasue they were bought by Vortech years ago and they could care less about vintage kits.The only guy(craig) able to help was from Paradise Wheels, but i think he went out of business

Pro Charger has bolt on kits, just not for our cars. It's REALLY hard to find bolt on blower setups for Classics. Pro Charger does have universal setups that will work with either carb or EFI, and setting it up wouldn't be too difficult, use a later model 5.0 bracket etc. It would still require a bit of work to make it fit. At least Paxton does make direct bolt on setups, but I wish Pro Charger would.

What pro charger would you guys want ? I can make brackets that would make it a bolt on deal. Gonna be making a mount for a F1 in a Maverick pretty soon.

I think at some point I'll stick a P1SC in mine, but that'll be way down the road.
