Yea, SMOG legal is one of the reasons I said Vortech too. These days, that is a big plus. I have also had several Vortech cars, and they make a great supercharger.

i have a vortech, and the new v-3 si trim is hella nice, this months mm and ff they tested it and they were making 18-19 lbs of boost....they're a very good blower and well worth the expense

i would say even the paxton is good but they are more expensive, procharger ehh, they have a good set up ratio so you'll boost up quicker but you cant really take them as far when it comes to max rpm...

From what I heard.



IMO, go with Vortech/Paxton. Its the same company only difference is one is A/A IC and the other is A/W IC. That's your best bang for the buck.

yeah but most procharger kits arent "smog" legal dude...but I would go with vortech for a best bang for the buck smog legal setup

If it wasn't for the smog issue, it'd be procharger all the way. It's proven itself countless times at the track.

procharger came out with a helical cut gear that makes it much quieter than the older straight cut gear blowers.

P R O C H A R G E R !!!

get the P1SC and then when you want more power, upgrade the impellers / bearings & you've still got a CA CARB LEGAL supercharger cause your unit say its a P1SC.

thats what alotta people do.

i dgaf and just straight up d1sc. but what can i say... it was sponsored.
