Ok, here it goes.
Wait let me take a breath of air in *Warning, long but intelligent post*
Procharger is a very good supercharger and being that I now have my distributor license for Procharger, (vortech/paxton)-Same company, and in the process of whipple, It is good on the price tag.
Procharger is able to get you the High Horsepower numbers that most blown Mustang guys are looking for by using the air to air intercooler. they have 3 core and 2 core. 3 core is the better one to go with because the air is able to cool off more.
Vortech has the water to air cooler that uses a compressor pump to send water to after coolant area to cool the air. (This form is not a sufficient and most guys will put ice in the resevoir when they go to the track, because water doesn't cut it.)
Vortech is not able to match procharger HP gains due to the fact that the air to water, is less effeciant as the air to air. Vortech has one set-up for another vehicle other than ford where you are able to get an air to air cooler from them. Guess what, with dynos with this one car vortech uses their only air to air matched against procharger air to air cooler on this one car, i will have to find which one it is and come back and edit so all can search for results.
If you get vortech be sure to get an air to air cooler from procharger, air to water sucks.
Vortech also has a smaller CFM than procharger. Procharger is able to get more air through than the rest of the competitors, except for PAXTON.
I would recommend PAXTON for a few reasons.
Paxton also uses air to air cooler
Paxton can grow a long time with your car and is very reliable.
Paxton has the largest CFM ratio out of all
Paxton can be used for bone stock application (ex. novi200) all the way to 800+ horsepower.
Procharger is good as well for a few reasons
procharger gets you the power you want
you do have to change head units when you want to grow with horsepower
procharger has self contained oil area, no more making a hole in the oil pan
However procharger has been known for breaking seals. They are a 10.00 part to fix though.
Overall, I would recommend Novi from paxton. Your better off, better reliability, and the gains can be better.
Just be sure to change out pistons, rods, and crank. Getting forge guts in your engine is always good, and if you get a cobra block, your $h!t will last. Then you can crank up the boost.
Talk with Steen Racing and they can tell you exactly how to make your engine with a blower almost invincible.
P.S. Get a safe tune, that is the best way to keep your car still moving.
