Default Superchargers

Ok I'm sure this has been asked before, but I want a fresh start. So which S/C is better? Procharger, Vortech or the X-Charger? Now I know this is a matter of opinion in many ways, but I'm looking for number and prices. I am currently saving for one but I need a goal to work toward. Also, do I need any other upgrades when installing a S/C? I am basically bone stock, besides my CAI, Duals and I have a tuner on the way. All input is appreciated. Thanks.

he means depends on what you're looking for. X-charger is a better streetable supercharger with high levels ofend low torque. They are all very good....I mean I know Scrmin runs the vortech and seems to be running good times...flapjack runs the procharger with cams and heads and runs 404rwhp....it's pretty much pick your poison. If I was you, I'd get the x-charger for a street setup and a procharger if you plan on track/street.

If your not going to the track xcharger is the best. If you are Procharger has been showing the best numbers while it has been said vortech has the best reliability.

I'm definitely not going to the track. Ok so say I want to get the X-Charger, what will it run me and should I put any other upgrades in along with it. You know, for the life of the car. I don't want to kill my car. Oh and also a good site to buy it from. Thanks.

Here's the best place to look for a great deal on a centrifugal Supercharger.... http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05v6ati.htm .....Spec's, prices etc., and if you find a verifiablelower price on a similar system, RPM will match or beat it!
Thought about looking into Powerdyne too but they don't seem to be offering S/C's for late model 4.0's yet. There are mixed reviews on Powerdyne so be careful.
You'll find kits offering up to 400+ RWHP.
Personally I'd be pretty happy with 350 GT killing RWHP for street use! More than enough power!
I've read that you can findfantastic deals on ebay as well but if you're not that experienced with S/C's, I'd stay away from used and or rebuilt systems. Might find a new system with warranty though. Never know.
Good luck!

the cali kit i believe makes 266 rwhp (aixers car i think thats what he makes) thats close to 300 hp at the crank. Dunnio bout the hipo id say prolly 280 or so rwhp im not to sure about that. You can pm afixer as he is the most knowledgeable about the Xcharger that i know of. You can also try any of the other X men but im not too sure who they are
