Difference between S/Cs

RandoGT · July 4th, 2007, 08:59 PM

i was just wondering which supercharger has the upperhand. i was looking at the Prochargers and Vortech, i know they're both Centris but which one is better in your opinion?

also, i know the KBs are insant power but can i get as much power out of one of those as i can a Centri? i have a 98 GT auto by the way

itschristorres8 · July 5th, 2007, 01:22 AM

the centri are better for your car i think

vortech and procharger choice is really a biased choice
both make good power ...id choose novi

but some will tell you procharger is better others willsay to get a vortech

TurboLX · July 5th, 2007, 02:34 AM

+1 for novi

RandoGT · July 5th, 2007, 10:24 AM

what makes Novi better than Vortech or Prochargers? also, how much power can i get out of a Centri or a KB?

I just got my novi 1000 installed on my 87 gt and im pretty happy with it made a big difference.

procharger FTW!!!
not to mention that prochargers have a 4:10 step up ratio where the other centris use a 3:73 step up so the prochargers will see boost sooner.

SALIV8 · July 6th, 2007, 05:35 PM

PROCHARGER ati are the best imo

RandoGT · July 6th, 2007, 11:51 PM

oh yeah, and is changing the pulley the only way to get more PSI out of a s/c?

Yes it is...

Me personally I love my vortech on my car...

But the prochargers are really nice...

The novis are my favorite though...

RandoGT · July 9th, 2007, 01:04 AM

so what's the most PSI you can get out of a supercharger? annnnd, how are the ways to raise PSI on turbos and what's the most to get out of them?

depends om the blower you are running and turbo boost is set by the wastegate and the size of the turbos

Prochargers are nice because they're intercooled, but they produce about the same power and are more expensive than a non-intercooled charger.

Vabeachmustang · July 14th, 2007, 11:29 PM

My vote is Procharger. I'm biased tho.

a centri is the best all around setup - hands down - its a lag free turbo, for some reason all these kids think you can make 35 psi on a small turbo.... it doesnt work like that, for more "huge" boost numbers you have to run bigger turbos - where the lagg gets greater. now you can run twin turbos - but they are bitch, very expensive and dependent upon boost level can and will still lagg... now if your a genious you could run a sequential twin turbo and have 0 lagg and mega "free" hp. However lets not even go there because its not going to happen. so it works like this - what type of race are you running and what kind of car do you want...

I want to own 0 - 120, so for me a centri is the way to go

now if you want to ring it out to 150 or so, a turbo would be better

this is not to say that both cant be setup for the vice versa, however to make a turbo car run quick et's you need a high stall... yada yada yada and basically the car becomes dangerous on the street. I say that if the car cant do it on the street - then it cant do it. So i like the power band of a centri, easier to hook up with and with a smart gear choice :wink , its going to be very quick.

all of this in addition to the fact that there is always going to be somebody faster than you, esp all of us running stock motors and even you built 5.4 guys.... its all money and 90% us all of this constant arguing over which is best is more ego than purposeful because were all going to get owned by a new z06 anyway... or your going to miss a shift one day and beat by a honda... shit happens, the point being too much worrying over this or that when your not really going to anything to it anyway.... just my .02
