ORIGINAL: v6VenoM thanks a lot scrming. I appreciate all the help. last question. where do I get the injectors from if I get it without the injectors. if i were you i wouldn't mess around with getting everything seperately because again (not to insult you) you really know little on the subject and it may save you a headache just getting a complete kit. The problem with the COMPLETE Vortech kit is they include a high flow fuel pump which is NOT needed... So can save yourself $300 to $400 by skipping the fuel pump upgrade... If he goes through a reputable shop they will know what they need and can advise him... Just don't let them sell you a new pump! LOL! He also mentioned he was possibly getting an SCT X-Cal2 soon... He could get the X-Cal2 now and then use it when he get's a SC... So again, don't buy the complete kit which comes with a tuner...

ORIGINAL: 8cd03gro And the thing like i said about 60' has a TON of other factors. I beleive rainbowcyxx on the **** did a 1.9 60' on stock rubber and stock gearing with his procharger... http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-Mustang-Timeslip-11042.html just trying to make a point here, dont want to start an argument really. Ok... everyone says the X-Charger is the best choice for the street because it has such great low end grunt/torque... I maintain if the X-Charger's low end grunt/torque is so great why do I and RB6 (with centrif's) have BETTER 60' TIMES? Races are won or lost in the first 60' and the last 100'.... And if you compare my car to Nav's X-charged car, they are almost identical! There are not a TON of other factors! The major difference is he was on MT ET's which are a heck of a lot stickier than my so-so M&H's!!! Yet, I have a better 60' time... and a higher trap speed... The X-Charger has it's strong points... but if you look at it 's Price-Performance... it's got to be at just about the bottom of the list...

ORIGINAL: illegal1984 Hey Rygen, from what I have read it seems like the ProCharger is a little less reliable then the Vortech...It seems logical because of the lower boost involved but it just that the boost? or is ProCharger just not as a solid a buy??? There have been some glaring issue with ProCharger's customer service... seems very spotty at best... ProChargers have had a histroy of leaking... and the one that seem to really be frustrating was they released their S197 V6 kit before it was really ready... they sold it as a complete kit including a canned tune which was no where near being an acceptable tune... Sooooo... seem a ProCharger purchase can be a hit or miss thing...

I watched his runs, f'ing insane. And the M&H's are definitely less sticky than the MT's. I had them side by site, and running your hand along the MT's is like running your hand along the sticky side of duct tape. The M&H's are smooth and harder. You have to really really heat them up at the track to get them to stick, thus why I always have long burn outs. Though I would have long burn outs even if it wasn't needed. LOL.

Yes, I have spent entirely to much money... and the bad part is I'm continuing to spend MORE money... probably going to drop another bunch of $$$ next month... The car has become basically an obsession... LOL! Car is in the shop right now, getting a set of 3.73's put in... so I can run those shorter MT ET'S!!!

You guys are totally right. I don't got a lot of extra cash but everytime I do, it goes to my car lol It's definitely an obsession. And Scrming I am definitely getting the X-Cal 2 in about a week and a half. So you say not to get the complete kit, but what comes missing from the kit that I would actually have to buy separately? Do you know? The kit that isn't complete is that the HO one or the standard?

Both the HO and the standard are available as "tuner kits", which mean you'll need to supply new injectors (39# Terminator injectors is what I recommend). You will already have an SCT X-Cal2 but you'll need to get a "tune" I would skip getting any kind of canned tune... I suggest you get the car custom dyno tuned... That really the only way to take full advantage of your supercharger... I know some guys are doing the datalogging and then e-mail to get their tunes... but if you have a good shop by you, then I really recommend a dyno tune.. Might want to start looking into your near by shops... just to get a feel for them... what brands they carry... etc...

I'm going in the wrong direction with the 3.73s... LOL! But... I figure with the 3.73s and the way these new brakes hold, I should be able to launch at a LOT higher RPM... plus I'm moving to the 2.87 pulley next Tuesday, which mean in theory the boost should come on even sooner!!!

And where do I get these injectors from? And yea I already started looking for a performance shop. Funny thing is there aren't that many around my way and I live in an urban area. go figure.

And scrming, like i said raynebow was on street tires with far less mods than you, but cut a 60' very close to yours. Just because the....what 2 x-chargers that have hit the track so far (?) have not cut a faster 60' than you doesn't mean they don't make more low end torque. bscottie is close to your 60' with an open diff also. Just wait, there will be an x in the 12's soon enough and wait for the 60' it will be mad. There is no denying the low-end torque of the x-charger, i dont even know why you are arguing the fact that it has mucho low-end torque, have looked at any of the dynos dude???

There is no denying the low-end torque of the x-charger, i dont even know why you are arguing the fact that it has mucho low-end torque, have looked at any of the dynos dude??? First off, RB6 has a PROCHARGER. He does NOT have an X-Charger! RB6 is also running a smaller pulley then what comes standard/stock. Second, Nav DOES have an X-Charger and we have almost IDENTICAL setup... Except I took my cats off... BUT Nav was running MT ETs which are a LOT BETTER than my M&H's! If the X-Charger is so great with the low end torque then Nav should have a lot better 60' than either RB6 or myself! Third, Yes, I seen the dyno sheets... Gosh, now you sound like MSP... I've seen the sheets but more importantly I've seen the timeslips! The Vortech and ProCharger simply out perform the X-Charger... sorry to bust your bubble... You can show me all the dyno sheets you want but the X-Men need to start pulling better 60' times then us Centrif to live up to all the low end hype! Fourth, I'm still running the standard/stock Vortech HO pulley (3.25). The 2.87 pulley is going on next Tuesday! Couple that with a set of MT ET's and I'll be mid to low 12's while the X-Men are trying to break into the 12's... The X-Charger looks good... sounds good.... is easy to install... and make really nice dyno sheets... but at the end of the day, it's all about the timeslips you bring home...

Theres no question the vortech is faster on the track but i think this whole 60' thing i think if all mods were EXACTLY the same except for the superchargers and you drove them both. Id bet you can get the same 60' times with the possibility of better with the xcharger. i dont know the other person but we all know your one of the more experienced track drivers in the 4.0 world.
