Choose My Blower

WaterDR · 11-03-2005, 01:51 PM

Well, I have decided to drop in a blower over the winter. At least 'till my wife steals my money.

I am limiting my options to those in the poll. I am not interested ina twin screw like a KB due to cost and a few other factors. I would like to put down around 390 - 400 hp if possible with the stock headers and basically no other work done to the car then what is already on it.

I also do not wish to get an after-cooler unless someone can make some good arguements. Why? Because of cost mostly and that I want to keep the power to 400 hp or less due to engine life and safety issues.

I also will either be keeping my nitrous or going to methanol injection for those moments when I wan a little extract cooling.

Ive got a buddy with an 03 gt with vortech, he hates it.

WaterDR · 11-03-2005, 03:18 PM

Matt:

What are his reasons?

MattJ · 11-03-2005, 03:20 PM

Dunno, I can ask him... and ill let you know.

WaterDR · 11-03-2005, 03:24 PM

Most bad stories I have heard stem from those buying used stuff that did not work or fit right or not having a good tune.

*Lances03SVT* · 11-03-2005, 03:42 PM

Voted for the Procharger.

MattJ · 11-03-2005, 04:08 PM

I vote whipple'd!

Badfish · 11-03-2005, 04:15 PM

too bad whipple chargers only work on cobras....

theres no chance, at all of hitting 390-400 with out an intercooler and/or headers

i vote procharger, self contained oil system = no tapping of stock oil pan

Its alot easier than you think...
it wont "only work on a cobra"

stanger00 · 11-03-2005, 05:02 PM

i didnt read the other posts. but i put in a mongoose kit with a paxton a/a intercooler with a 3.1 pulley. the man himself tuned me up since i drove back to delaware from california. im glad i did because we found out my car needed a KB B.A.P because i was making too much power up top and fuel pump couldnt keep up. my setup cost about as much as a KB 9psi kit. if my car were a manual i would have 430-440 rwhp. before the BAP went on i had 408rwhp. with stock headers and stock H pipe... insane

i know. they said i have a factory freak.

edit i just read some of the other posts. ok with 99-2000 gt's we can run more timing (safer) then 01+ gt's. we have lower compression. if you dont run a a/a or aftercooler then take off about 30-40 horsepower, no biggy really you can make it up with the 25-50 shot of nitro. tapping the hole was not that bad i have no leaks at all and i didnt use leak lock like a retard will be doing that this weekend when i change the oil. if you get the procharger it has to come off every 5k miles to change the oil. my friend has one. mine has to come off when i change belts, same with procharger. paxton units you dont have to worry about taking it off for any reason, unless you want too.

I would have chosen your wife if she was a poll option.

millatime · 11-03-2005, 05:37 PM

paxton novi 2000 if I was going centri...belt changes are MUCH easier than with vortech and you have more room to grow if you ever decide to.

spike_africa · 11-04-2005, 05:47 AM

ati hands down, get the optional 3 core intercooler and you be making awsome power.

MachGT · 11-09-2005, 09:21 AM

You can make the same power at the same boost with the vortech as with the procharger with 2 core intercooler. The vortech blower is much more efficient and much more dependable.

If you want to push some extra power then add meth injection.

I know the article is from vortech but it has some interesting information.

I vote procharger, Dom's got one on his car and he likes it, and his beast is pushing nearly 600HP

Badfish · 11-12-2005, 09:02 AM

can you tell me why, other than cost, you dont want a kenne bell...they kick ass, self contained oil, replace your stock intake manifold, so no need for a bullit intake, wayyyy less belt problems with KBs, a guy on miles per hour with a saleen ( refer to hood thread, with cowl hood) has a KB on his daily driver, 400 rwhp, drives it every day, is reliable and fun

stanger00 · 11-12-2005, 10:09 AM

i would of gotten one too. i didnt have the tools to do it myself. 4900 plus 100 for drop shipment=

BRANSDAMAN · 12-05-2005, 02:25 AM

Go to the procharger vs. vortech discussion to see whats up. Bottom line the Procharger makes faster mustangs with stock parts - go the gallery and ull see wut I mean.

Hey, I just saw this post! I will tell her you said that.

PureStang · 12-06-2005, 01:59 PM

y not a t-trim vortech..thats wat ill probably going to get for my car??

I hate fat girlz · 12-06-2005, 07:05 PM

i say **** both and get a cobra

foncarelli · 12-07-2005, 02:27 AM

Wish i would have got the 2.2. Only thing i dont like about Procharger is the idler pulley between the blower and the altenator. The offset bracket that holds the pulley in place is made of aluminum and its very easy to strip the threads. I had this problem when i had to replace the altenator.

PureStang · 12-07-2005, 04:07 PM

t-trim anyone?? from miles per hour?

whitethunder46 · 12-07-2005, 09:52 PM
