Gripenfelter 08-16-2007, 10:35 AM If you can't fit a leafblower under your hood go with a Procharger. mrmint69 08-16-2007, 01:58 PM Has anyone ever dynoed one of those? I would figure the draw off the battery would be bad and the psi's must be so low its not worth it. Do the search on here and you will read for days on the different types and pros & cons. My Powerdyne is the cheapest IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! That Camaro Guy 08-16-2007, 03:31 PM This thread would probably get you further if it were in the forced induction section. You need to decide how much power you want, and how much money you have to spend first. Don't put boost on a stock LT1. -Pete- *edit* Electric superchargers will give you as much horse power as changing your muffler bearings. arcticz28the383 08-16-2007, 06:31 PM Procharger seems to be the favorite for our cars, vortech is good too. fireman 08-16-2007, 06:53 PM If you got a stock motor, then the best supercharger is no supercharger. There are very few people that run blowers on stock motors that live a while. I got 2200 miles with 6psi before my 72k mile shortblock said no more boost. pyro719 08-16-2007, 08:09 PM mrmint69 You are super charged and runnging a 13.9?Has anyone ever dynoed one of those? I would figure the draw off the battery would be bad and the psi's must be so low its not worth it. Do the search on here and you will read for days on the different types and pros & cons.

Injuneer 08-17-2007, 12:38 AM Another disappointing thread.... new guy shows up, looking for help, and he gets a wise ass response from Z28LT1_Just_Nasty, and an English lesson from nov194. We all had to start somewhere. Cut him some slack. Moving to "Forced Induction" forum. v7guy 08-17-2007, 03:29 AM 305racer- Sorry if my initial post was insulting I really was trying to be helpful. Your question is extremely open ended. The biggest question is, what do you plan to do with the car and what have you done with the motor so far? Most people are let down with anything less than a procharger D1. The smaller blowers usually end up disappointing in the future, if not initially. If you've not done any internal motor work, look to be doing a rebuild in the near future. If you can do a rebuild now to lower the compression it would be advisable. Do yourself a favor and ignore the leaf blower comment. You will get a lot of sarcastic replies when you leave out words in your post and replace words with numbers... such as "to with 2" and "for with 4". Typically people take you more seriously when you spell things out as opposed to using short hand cell phone lingo. 97WS6Pilot 08-17-2007, 12:49 PM I have a 1995 Z28 LT1....i have been working on it 4 a while and i need to what supercharger will be best 4 my engine? Welcome to the board. The procharger D1SC and Vortech Ttrim are the best blowers for a stock engine. If you have the money to rebuild your motor with some forged dished pistons then I would go with a procharger F1. Both companies sell kits but the intercoolers they sell do not perform as well as what you can fab up yourself or buy on ebay. I recommend calling Lonnie Patvis or Exotic Performance Plus and get a basic kit without intercooler and make your own intercooler tubing and front mount intercooler. If your patient you can go to the For Sale section of this site and find killer deals on used supercharger kits. Also use the search feature of this site. It has many years worth of questions and usually the question you ask can be answered much more thoroughly and quicker.:) bad95formula 08-17-2007, 04:04 PM Welcome to the board. The procharger D1SC and Vortech Ttrim are the best blowers for a stock engine. :confused::confused::confused: What makes these blowers the best "for a stock engine"???? v7guy 08-17-2007, 05:16 PM As time has passed that seems to be what the majority of members have gone for and been happy with. The smaller blowers are often out grown relatively quickly and then a large sum of money is spent again to upgrade to a larger compressor. When consideration is given to a small blowers ability to blow your motor just like a larger one it makes sense to go with the larger one. As mentioned, there is a lot of info on here that you can find with a search. 97WS6Pilot 08-17-2007, 07:04 PM Yes, and D1SC's and Ttrim can easily be pullied down to 5 lbs or so. But they can also be pullied up to about 15 lbs. With the Strims and P1SC, not only do they have inefficient impellor designs but you have no room to grow when you decide to forge your motor. I don't know that much about Strims but someone please speak up if I'm wrong.:) engineermike 08-17-2007, 09:08 PM You can't really go wrong with the T-trim/Aftercooler combo. It's pricey, but will go down to 6 intercooled psi, which is safe on a stock motor. But, it'll support a stroker with big heads and cam, good enough to run 9's at 140 mph. Mike | ||
