Based on your requirement to be streetable, I stand by my original recommendation to go with a positive displacement supercharger like a KB, whipple, Edelbrock, etc. I based this on the following: * you have a manual transmission so you'll want a lot of off idle torque to get you off the line...

was hoping more people would chime in with their experiences on the different kits. my vortech kit was pretty much maintenance free the whole time I've owned it sans the occasional belt tensioning and hose clamp tightening. I'd imagine most supercharger kits are very similar. In the 38K miles...

i don't mind how stiff the pedal effort will be, i'm more interested in a clutch that will engage smoothly with some travel to it to help walk to car off the line. i find that having a heavier pedal feel helps you control the clutch release with more control . . . but that's just me. sounds...

well everyone wants something good, i'm sure that's why you're asking. what we meant is, will you use the car more for straight line stuff at the drag strip/street? or do you want the car to be able to go around corners and perform at an SCCA autocross or road course?

great news. good luck this season.

looks great man. awesome numbers too. i'm sure the results would contribute well to the whole turbo vs. supercharger debate. would you be willing to share the dyno graphs?!?!? this would be the third entry in the 17-19psig-ish range. :D -chris

I'm running kenny brown adjustable lower control arms and i DON'T recommend them. They will be swapped out ASAP. I'm running 93 cobra stock uppers. What are you looking to do? Drag racing, street handling, road racing? If you want better handling around corners, avoid using aftermarket...

I believe that turbos and supercharger kits designed these days have similar maintenance and durability issues (and therefore head aches) and that there is no real generalizations about the advantages of one of the other in this respective. Perhaps if we were talking 5-10 years ago, turbos...

Not sure how Procharger got its own category of forced induction. Let's review there are: * centrifugal superchargers - these are compressors that generate airflow on the basis of centrifugal acceleration and therefore the airflow comes from speed. they are driven off of the engine crank...

ok, so where did we leave off . . . . . . come on guys, lets see more dyno results. so far we have results for * 4.6L 3V single turbo 17psig boost * 4.6L 4V positive displacement supercharger 17psig boost * 2.3L 2V single turbo 22psig boost * 331 2V single turbo 15psig boost @3400 (not...
