I am going to have a new ring and pinon put in my car in may. Next year I am planning on adding a vortech, paxton, or procharger supercharger. My car is a 5sp and had comp cam thumpr stage 1 in it. What gears would be best? What brand? I was thinking about the FRPP 4.10 set.

 

Centrifugal blowers make their best power up high, so you need to get the car's revs up higher quickly. Therefor, steep gears are best for a centrifugal blower (i.e. 4.10, 4.30, or 4.56). I went with 4.10's and believe they are perfect with my Vortech V2 blower.

 

cool. i been reading some guys having problems with the higher gears and turbos. i know turbos work totally different than the centrifugal blowers but i wanted to make sure. the FRPP 4.10 gears are they made by FRPP or motiv?

 

I have FRPP 4.10's (they went in 3.5 years ago and they've been great).

 

cool, thats the ones i will get. one thing i for got to ask is what about underdrive pulleys and the centrifugal superchargers?

 

Hey Nick,
You don't want to run UDP's with a any blower. The smaller diameter of the UDP's will slow down your blower and will rob you of boost. Thus rob you of horsepower. Stick with the stockers if you want to run a blower of any type.

 

thanks for the info. i will stick with the stock one then and not waste my money and put it to the blower.
