Whats the most reliable and best Supercharger for a stocker?

Are Prochargers as good as a Supercharger?

 

What a loaded question. Everybody has a favorite I'm guessing. From what I've gathered over the years is that the most reliable DD SC might not be the most power producing, but that's why they are reliable. For reliability I would rank Saleen, Roush, Whipple. My reasoning is they produce these to be put on DD's with a warrenty. You can always add custom tunes for more power but may risk reliability.
I drive my car sun, rain, snow, whatever and went with the Roush M90 & CAI (on super sale at the time) and just run Roush's factory tune to keep it a safe (fun as hell) DD. I prefer the whine of a good ol SC myself.
That's my novice .02 worth.
For what it's worth, my buddies that are into pure power ALL go with Kenny Bell.

 

I guess you gave up on the nitrous? Or are you trying to combine nitrous and a blower? I'd agree with Steve...For reliability, I'd go with Saleen, Roush, or a Whipple. I think the FRPP kits are Whipples, but don't quote me on that. On the stock engine, don't expect to hit it with tons of boost and it still remain reliable. But any of those blowers with a moderate amount of boost and a good tune should be fine. They usually have a basic kit that gives moderate ("safe") boost.

Secondly...a Procharger IS a supercharger. It's a centrifugal supercharger. It's similar to a turbo, but is driven by the engine instead of exhaust gasses. The usual types of superchargers are Twin-Screw, Roots, and Centrifugal. They all have pro's and con's. Just read up on em a bit, and you'll get the idea. What's best for you, depends on what you want out of it. Some produce full boost at low rpm's...Others build up boost with engine speed.

 

Yea might be not to good combining nitrous with a supercharger, wich one is easy to get installed with a simple tune? Like would yu be able to tune in a supercharger with a sct bama tune?

 

Paxton superchargers are pretty reliable. They been around forever too to boot

 

You got that right, "not to good combining nitrous with a supercharger". Whatever you decide to go with, you WILL need a custom tune. They are many great tuners that can sell you the SCT with the tunes you will need. Of course it's best to take your car to a tuner if a good one is in your area.

 

There ya go, one of the most reliable supercharger kits I know of (bit pricey though since it comes attatched to the engine)

Why are you guys looking at me like that?

 

From what I have come up in my research......some vendors/tuners if they have enough experience with a certain brand of charger can send you an email tune on the SCT tuner.

For example Brenspeed is suppose to be very good with Saleen and Vortech......JDM does a lot of Saleen chargers as well.....AM is suppose to be good with Edelbrock etc.

You need to do your research on what type of charger you are looking for (i.e. Twin Screw vs. Centri).

The general consensus is Centri is preferable for racing/track use......whereas Twin Screw is great for street driving/cruising.

 

Yeah, that's why I asked. On a stock engine, I definately wouldn't try spraying along with a supercharger. I'm not aware of any well known Mustang tuners around Seminole (I'm from there...), but you may wanna look around Midland/Odessa and Lubbock for someone you'd trust. I think many of the supercharger kits come with a tune, but the tune assumes a completely stock engine. So if you have done or plan on doing any other mods, I'd find a tuner that can get you on a dyno and write you a custom tune.

 

Another one to consider might be the newer Edelbrock. I've done a bit of reading on it and was impressed with the system. The only thing I don't like is that it's quiet. I hope to supercharge mine at some point, and I'll probably go with Kenne Bell in part because of the sweet screaming sound.

 

I've had a Whipple for 2 years now and love it. It has been no problem at all and from idle to red line it pumps all the way. It's only 6 lbs, no inter cooler, but it really is nice for just driving. I have been many miles with it.

 

Yep, the Edelbrock is very quiet and stealthy. A great option and very reliable as I am at 2.5 years now with no complaints and a pretty much stock drivetrain/exhaust. But not recommended if you need that tell tale supercharger whine

LMAO!!!!

 

+1. I ran a Vortech V2 (Vortech & Paxton are the same company with the same head units) on my '07 GT. Super reliable and they've been around more than 50 years. Paxton used to be McCullough, which was offered from the Factory on late 50's T-Birds. Paxton was also offered from Shelby on GT350's 45 years ago.

Centrifugals don't "feel" fast, but they dominate at the dragstrip. Twin Screws "feel" fast, but give up a little bit of performance at the dragstrip. All supercharger kits on the market are great - none are bad choices - and all can make more power than a stock bottom end can handle. Choose by intended use, personal preference, and budget.

 

I run a Saleen Super Shaker, (have to cut a hole in your hood) for 3 years now and I have had zero issues. Makes great power, has a soft whine and whoosh sound, and looks good as hell.
