I'm still a newb myself. One thing to factor in is labor for install vs. install yourself. Typical labor w/tune is 1K to 1.3K for these kits. This is where the X shines, it installs in 6 hours and is the easiest to install by the do-it-yourself'er.

If you get a supercharger i have to reccomend the procharger. Im vortech but have had both but that procharger is definetely out of this world. Never have tryed the paxton or xcharger though so i dunno bout that. Maybe one day ill see afixers car in person and see the xcharger looks pretty cool

Personally, it's up to you. You've put time and money into your V6. Time and money you will not get back. Sure, you might sell it for a bit more than a stock V6.... but the time is lost forever.

Our engines did not start far below our V8 brothers. 210 crank HP vs 300 crank HP. 240 crank HP vs 320 crank HP.

Your decision should be on sound and your final HP goal. If you're looking for more than 500 RWHP, the V6 is probably not the greatest choice. My personal goal for my V6 is 500 RWHP, but who the hell knows how streetable that will be if/when I achive it.

As for price/bang-for-the-buck, I feel you can't beat the V6.... especially considering insurance. I should be sitting around 350 RWHP right now, and my new heads/cams come today. We'll see what happens with that.

Think wisely, as others have said. Either way, you don't want to make a decision you'll regret.

thanks guys for all your opinions. i have decided on the paxton. 500 hp is subconsciously my goal but on the surface i don't care about the hp numbers. 350 just sounds good, thats all. i just want something that can spank most other cars. and when i tell em its a six it will baffle them.

and rygen, you should have came to me when you needed your turbo installed. i'm half taco bender and i woulda done it for a couple six packs. i have replaced whole turbo systems on the big 6.3 liter diesel hmmwv's before. about seven actually. when something goes wrong with them they just order the whole the whole kit and my NCO instructs me to replace it. the first two times i got confused but after that it just became routine. never installed a s/c before but i'm sure it's easier.

Has anyone looked at or own the ProCharger Race II System
where you can run it at 10psi or 12psi? Just wondering cause
I found it here......

Just wondering if anyone got this. Also is that system at all streetable as far
as a daily driven car?

That is the same kit Flapjack, Armycook (12.8) and Ranebowcyxx (12.9) have. I've driven Ranebowcyxx's car, its very streetable.

@Benhill,

Thanks for the offer dude.

Sick Six

Thanks Rygen, that's what I was thinking. So about how much horsepower and torque
are Flapjack ARmycook and Ranebowcyxx netting?

rygenstormlocke

Varies depending on the pulley used. But many are 300-320rwhp and 290-310rwtq I believe.

I just ordered a stage 2 Procharger for my beast. Can't wait till it's installed. Anyone know how hard it is to install one. My son works for a performance shop so he'll do the install but I'll probably have to give him some coin for his effort. Also, for those that have one are they everything you thought they would be?
