eaton is the LAST supercharger i would ever throw on a car. by far, the least efficient of all superchargers...

Sure is easy to spend when it`s not your $$ eh?

You are right though. From the research i have done Eaton is the last choice. There are used Vortech and Paxtons out there for decent cash though.

vortechs and paxtons run off of engine oil though. so if whoever owned the supercharger before u didn't change their oil for 15,000 miles, chances are the supercharger got damaged from particles in the oil. that's why the only centri i'd ever consider buying used is a procharger
