Just curious if you all have read this before....
http://www.superchargersonline.com/content.asp?id=156

go to bottom of page and hit "click here for test report". It is a comparison between the procharger p1SC and the vortech V-1 S trim. I didn't understand it all but basically they were saying that the procharger sucks. Is this just garbage spewed out by vortech (I dont think that this website sell prochargers)? Opinions appreciated.

PS I was gonna attach the pdf but it was too big.

Tomahawk that was a test done by Vortech I wouldn't believe any thing they say you always want a 3rd party independent test.


See links below from ProCharger the knife cuts both ways sort of speak.

Thanks for the links TJ. I knew there had to be a 2nd side! I was also curious as to why the quotes are from 2003 but the vortech report was published in 2005.

I need some help guys. I have a few questions I've been unable to get answers for by searching. I'll call around tomorrow and double-check... but I wanted to run these questions by you all first.

1) When I placed the order, they recommended I upgrade the ignition system when running boost. They mentioned some brand, but I don't really remember. It was something along these lines: http://www.ignitionsolutions.com/productsBooster.asp From what I can glean from other non-Mustang forums, the difference was negligible. But this was with N/A engines. Is it a more appropriate upgrade with forced induction?

2) Thermostat: Heat is the ultimate cause of pre-detonation. Many factors contribute to that heat (too much boost, low octane gas, etc...) Would running a t-stat with a lower opening threshold help keep engine temps in a safe range? Normally, I don't believe in messing with t-stats, since they're designed to keep an engine at its optimal temperature... but when running boost, the engine will be dealing with extra heat.

3a) Fuel pump: I've heard a few stories about the stock fuel pump not being able to supply enough pressure for the larger injectors included with the kit. IIRC, it was a GT that had the problem, and they had to remove the rear seat to change out the fuel pump. Has anyone heard of this? ...will the stock pump be strong enough to supply 42lb injectors?

3b) Boost-a-Pump: This is a Kenne Bell thing, right? It makes sense, though. I guess it adds extra voltage to the fuel pump to increase output. Could this help in a S/C application? I know Mike @ PowerHouse uses one...

I mainly posted this here since it's on-topic... but should I create a separate post for these questions? I think I will. Makes sense, especially if someone else is searching by subject line later...
