Default RE: ? about which supercharger is better

you down to just these two? there are a lot of whipples and saleen on these forums.... good luck with your quest.

I do not have either so I just prefer the look of the kenne bell over the paxton. but what your end goals/ how much boost you gonna run will help you decide. Do you have support (a shop) that is good with both?
are you going with final price?
are you going for show and go?
Will you eer want to boost up high?

Kenne Bell Dude. Twin screws (kenne bell, whipple, and saleen) all get boost at the tap of the throttle. I centrifical (procharger,vortech,paxton) actually has to spool up kind of like a turbo.

My 2 cents; Kenne Bell and Whipple HO superchargers are the best you can buy.

Default RE: ? about which supercharger is better

Answer some of these questions....we know nothing from what you have posted so for

1. What are you planning to do with the car? i.e. - autocross, trailer drag car, daily driver, weekend warrior and occasional track, street/strip limited, street/strip weekly, etc

2. How much max power do you want to make eventually?

3. How much max power do you want to be able to run on the street?

4. Is torque important to you or just rwhp numbers?

5. Where do you live and what is the climate?

6. How many miles do you average on your car? (example - 12K per year)

7. Is your car lowered?... How much?

8. What is the max octane you have in your area? (example - 89, 91, 93, etc.)

9. Do you plan on rebuilding a forged motor?

10. Is 'whine' important to you?

11. Do you want to be able to have multiple boost levels and tunes? (i.e. race and street) Specific to boost - do you want to run different boost levels on the car?

12. Are you installing yourself? If not... who is?


13. Do you have access to a custom tuner and dyno?

The June 2008 issue of MM&FF's, has a great write-up comparing all the popular Superchargers.

Default RE: ? about which supercharger is better

20k / year is kinda a lot.
out of those 2 choices, i would go w/ the TS
but there's nothing wrong w/ the procharger either, plus they sound pretty cool too.
whipple and saleen are also good choices. or paxton/vortech, turbo too. but w/ that hi milage i would keep anyFI at a low single digit boost level.
