Top mount or side mount ?

any ideas pros and cons ?

Im looking at magnacharger and whipple for top mounts and Vortech and procharger for side mounts

 

im very into centrifugal superchargers. i love pro charger and vortech. if/ when i boost mine, this is the route i will be going .
pros....its about 1500-2k cheaper than the maggie or whipple. easy to install. dont get heat soak like the maggie. i believe they are lighter.great blower whine! can handle tons of boost. and did i mention through certain dealers that their about 2k cheaper than a roots style? vortech's design is much better than they used to be. kinda took some notes from pro charger. they dont have the air to water cooler andy more. now they just have the air to air intercooler in front of the car. the older air to water coolers worked, but then you had a huge box sitting on top of your engine. these new ones are much nicer. very reliable. tons of different things you can do to them. you can get a larger pulley so you dont get belt slippage.


it really depends on what your wanting the boost for. maggie and whipple are great low end tq and power off the line.....the vortech and procharger are great for high rpm power. once you crack the throttle and the rpms go shooting up...watch out! this thing is a beast.

 

I like Magnacharger. All-in-one unit, minimal piping, etc.

 

I need top save for a long time anyway but thanks fo the responses

 

you dont need cash! find a credit card company to give you 12-24 months interest free. theres all kinds of them out there.

 

that might be a reason for me to get a credit card! haha
was gonna pay cash, but that's a good interest builder

 

thats what i have done in the past. BUT....if you cant afford to buy it...DONT. my moto is ...if you cant afford to buy it in cash, dont buy it. the cash is nice ot have for just in case. so dont blow all your cash on a supercharger. blow the banks cash on it. and pay them back over 2 years.


im actually thinking of getting an interest free card to finance my new wheels. then once i sell my 22's ill just pay the card off.

 

oh I have the cash...I'm just in afghanistan still...but as I don't have any credit cards...this would be a good reason to get one

 

perfect!

 

thanks for your service brother

 

Agreed! Be safe over there, come home soon so you can wreak havoc on the back tires of your Camaro!

 

If you have a Camaro SS convertible, Vortech is offering to install theirs for $2500... provided you loan them your car...

P.S. It ends up although its through Vortech, its a Lysholm Twin-Screw that is being offered for $2500 installed.

Not a bad deal, but I'll bet you have to get your car to California to take part in it.

 

thats worth the trailer rental and the 2 days drive!
