    Non Intercooled Supercharger Kit

    Would any members be interested in a kit that would add 100 RWHP for 3499.99. This would use a Procharger Blower but would not use an Intercooler.It will still whine!

    It would be a low boost low RWHP kit. It could be upgraded down the road.

    I am just thinking out loud at the present moment.

    Let me know you thoughts.

    Sounds like a great start on building power, Greg, I presume an intercooler can be added at a later time?

    What comes with the kit?

    Greg and I were kicking around a low-boost ProCharger application before I went whole hog on the intercooled version when he came out with his opening day special. I'm glad I did, but this is a great way for someone to start with and grow into one heck of a fast car.

    Sounds like a great way for those a little short on cash to get a nice start. They can always add on as time goes by.

    Greg,

    IMO, a really great idea for an entry kit. As the 2-3 years Marauders will start to change hands, the seconds hands buyers might want, from a limited budget, to win the bang for the buck contest.

    Also, they could upgrade later on, as $$$ permit, with an intercooler or go like some Lidio's customer, from Alternative, by using a methanol injection kit to do the cooling task.

    Edit: The Procharger kit could be made very "modular" in nature, in par with the engine philosophy !

    IMHO, I can't see spending $1,500 less than the Trilogy kit and still wanting the Trilogy kit. There simply is no substitute.

    I would definately be interested in such a kit, especially if it was upgradeable. Keep us posted.

    Greg, you are risking your business by offering a non-intercooled kit.
    Do what you want, but stick to what works best.

    True, But thinking out loud...What does a top notch Snow Performance Methanol injection system run???

    I would run an intercooler AND a Snow Performance kit, but if you HAD to have a S/C kit cheap...this would be a viable option until the funds were available for an intercooler...

    Thats actually not a bad idea. However when I priced out a methanol kit I was looking at about $1200-$1300. That would include the Kit, Installation, and most importantly the tuning to go with it. The tuning is most important since you are dependant on the methanol to avoid detonation. Not worth it in my opinion.

    I say DO IT! I can't tell you how many times I kicked it at a light and when it was all done I only went about 5psi positive. Sure I had more headroom, but it was over by then.

    At 5psi, the intercooler isn't really needed to be safe either. For every supercharged marauder there are at lease 20 vortec powered 5.0 mustangs running no more than 5psi and they don't have intercoolers either.

    The cool thing is that you can upgrade to more boost and an intercooler at a later date.

    Good thing I got $4K for my used kit before you offered this! <grin!>

    Now if you could just get us a GB on those Shiny Hineys for my differential install next week.

    Cheers!

    John

    You would definately have run lower boost without an intercooler. I imagine you could probably run a 4.0" pulley, maxing out at 5 psi or so, without an intercooler to keep the inlet air temperature within reason at full boost.

    Looking at some charts on the web, that's about 75 degrees F above ambient outside air temperature at full boost (compression heat + supercharger heat + engine compartment soak heat). According to the ProCharger site they don't recommend exceeding 5 psi of boost for non-intercooled centrifugal blower on a 10:1 compression engine anyway.

    http://www.procharger.com/intercooled.shtml

    Still, 5 psi would be a nice kick in the pants. The tune would just have to be set up to pull more timing out as the inlet air temperature started to get up there on hotter days, but this might be a budget option in milder climates. I'm sure the intercooler upgrade would soon follow though. Boost is just too addicting.

    Dave, this kit would be $2500.00 cheaper than a Trilogy.
