Why would someone buy one brand name over another? Is it just personal choice or price or what have you? Does some make more power at lower rpms? Will some leave soft but make power at higher rpms? Is reliability a factor?

From what I know procharger is nice due to the fact it a direct bolt on even down to the tune as long as your stock other than a cat back. Otherwise your car needs to be dyno tuned by a shop after install.

Well roots style make more bottom end and less top end. Centrifugal are the opposite. Far as brands I have no idea what makes one better than the other.

There are two kinds, the Roots derived TVS blowers which are called positive displacement and centrigugal which are, essentially, a belt driven turbocharger.

What makes them different is that the PD blowers take a fixed volume of air, trap it and jam it into the engine. This makes the engine, essentially, act like a much bigger engine, in other words, lots of torque and power and lower engine rpms.

A centrifugal needs load and rpm because it spins in an axial housing and takes air coming in and compresses it to produce greater air volume. This means the blower drives pretty much like a stock 5.0 unless you are wailing on it, then hold on.

Both can make massive top end power if pullied and tuned properly but the TVS-based blowers are more streetable and generally fun all around. There is a reason they are used in OEM applications over centri-style blowers, because most people don't live life "a 1/4 mile at a time", as it were.

They are more expensive, on the whole than a centri but, that's because they are popular. They are a simpler install than a centri, typically, as well.
