Ok...which Super Charger?

[Mike M]

I sold my home in NJ and I am moving to Anthem Arizona at the end of June to my new home. I now have cash to buy a Super Charger and thought I had a choice of 3 (DR, Trilogy or a KB) now I see there is a ProCharger setup so my questions are...
1) Are the power outputs about the same? 450ish RWHP?

2) Ease of installation.

3) Price

I am a mechanic by trade and I know superchargers so you won't have to dumb it down.
I am now reviewing past threads but feel free to enlighten me.

What about the VT package with the Paxton Novi 2000.Oh ya even though they were the first to do the lower end nobody was interested back in `03 so they went under.My how things have changed.

Here are two links that I think are relavent: I also think that it's best to keep in mind that PEAK HP isn't the only thing that matters when it comes to any modification making your car faster, since the power levels at 3,000 RPM's and 4,000 RPM's are just as much a BIG factor in propeling your car down the track or stretch of highway (if not MORE so) than PEAK power numbers are....

Look around at all of the threads pertaining to superchargers (avoid the arguments).
Ask the members who have them (preferably by PM).
Choose which one will keep a smile on your face (that will be the tough decision).
Let us know about it, too (we will be happy with what ever one you choose).

Just my .02 and then some.

Billy, is right peak HP is not everything. Look at the top three cars in the Timeslip page. Check out the 60 foot times on the roots and the Centrificals.

They all need extra mods to get those times.

Yeah.. buy a ticket....

I mean, the S/C has my name on it... but you could at least help pay for it !

This will be interesting, but FYI there are a little more than the ones you mentioned. DR Air-to-water/Vortec, DR air-to-air/Vortec, Kenny Brown Marauder-S conversion/Procharger, Trilogy-Roots, FIT/Procharger, and there is also a Turbo Kit that no one has posted that they have, but its out there. I'd go and get the numbers from the respective vendors, because this is a very touchy subject.

You may be better servered by having members e-mail you on this subject and not in a open fourm. Just my

As you search will show, there are several kits on the market and all, well installed and well tuned, should do the job good. It will be up up to your personal taste (price, power delivery, installation, easyness to modify and upgrade, service record and so on).

As Marauder owners, we're lucky to have quite a bit of choice given the fact that our car is rare and not built anymore.

But if you're looking for a PRO kit, and don't want CHARGED too much, well, the choice is yours !!!

I'm with Dave on this one. I don't think we should be afraid of the topic it's just that some people go with the attitude of "if you don't pick what I picked you are wrong"

So my opinion, from someone who has driven all of them except the procharger, is.............

you are a mechanic so I'd say all kits would be easy for you to install,

If all you do is S/C the car the Trilogy makes such a difference in torque at low RPM that its a great choice all by itself.

Kenny Brown will do the conversion for you, he won't sell you a kit (last I knew)

DR's kit is the one I have, its watercooled and I was willing to do more mods like 4.10s and 3500 RPM stall to help with the off the line. So its great seat of the pants and never stops pulling at the top end.

I have not driven a Procharger but from what others have said and what I have read it's as good of a choice as the others.

If I was you I'd wait a bit and see what happens with the turbo kit, maybe because its new it has my attention.

I have spoken to Dennis, Jerry and Greg and they are all great folks who will make sure you are happy with their product - so no worries there.

And yes I am very happy with my kit, the car is awesome. Every one of these cars are great when supercharged. And you could put any of these on your car without other mods and they will make a huge difference as well.

Want more PM me.

with luck I will be the first to have a tri-carb set up on mine too -
