Anybody running a paxton supercharger on an RB?
Any opinions?

Don't know how Paxton flow would compare to "Vortec si", but guy is selling on ebay, becuse it could only make 5 psi on a 455 poncho. Good Luck, ateam.ale:Anybody running a paxton supercharger on an RB?

Paxton was bought out by Vortech
Thanks,
I have that article and have read it several times.
Procharger is about $7500.00 vs $4000 for Paxton
The Paxton is more affordable but going back 10 years had terrible reviews with quality and service?
Paxton was bought out by Vortech and it looks like its a different company with its act together!! Paxton answers my Emails and are responsive on the phone. I am just looking for a little more assurance.
I know I could get a 6-71 roots working but the centrigigul works better for my application.Roots generates to much heat for roade racing. Just don't know much about the Centrifigul blowers? I'm learning
Keep us posted on what you decide, Id like to supercharge my Dart if I keep it..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++O2 sensor is a good idea??
I 'm thinking about your txt and I shoild probally just go with some head work and a bigger cam.
I probally can't afford to do it right . I will end up with out a car AGAIN this summer.
Bill Dedman's DARTis just to cool though. Wow what a sleeper!
Bill Dedman- I just clicked on your avatar and read about your car. Answered all my questions.
BAd A$$
You have spent some duckits and sure looks like Fun. Nice Car!
I am not ready for a supercharger this season
Bill Dedman-looks like you have methenol injection also ???
What fuel pump and carb are you using??
I am on the fence sir. I am a little short of the cohoney's but close
Thank you
I am nosin around again! I want to do something different?
I think I can afford the Paxton set-up, Carb and Methanol kit.
Why did you go Vortech vs Paxton or Procharger? I am always forgeting to turn my fuel pump on/off. Leaning out my motor is my last hurdle
An O2 sensor was suggested?
What about a fuel pressure switch that shuts down the ignition???
This would solve the problem of a fuel pump failure or bonehead mistake.
I drive the car on Road racing courses so I might not visually notice a problem denoted by the fuel pres. guage quick enough.
You are pretty handy!! I like the dual battery set-up. .
I may try and do some of my own fabricating also. I really do not like the supercharger on the passenger side of a big block. This is the busy side of my motor, alternator, MSD distributor, Fuel filter, Pres regulator, top radiator hose.(have to change my radiator Be-Cool $700.00) I machined my own cool alternator brackets and pulley;s, polished and clear coated. Plus my battery is in the trunk. Lots of room on drivers side. Wide open I could store my lunch box. Thats how Paxton and procharger offer there kits-passenger side w alt relocated
I might just buy the head unit and fabricate an AL plate??? I CAN DO IT!
I've been a machinist for 25 years with full axcess to a machine shop.
Looking at what you have done and your pioneering spirit has giving me some confidence
Do you have any pics of your idler pulley bracket???Thanks
Thanks
You have had your system up and running for 5 yrs w no major problems?\
I saw the date of the picture -2005
Im gunna sell the wife's car when she is at church Sunday and dial down on a Paxton Novi 1500 next week.LOL Probally will order the whole kit unpolished. $2800.00 from a local Paxton distributor. He is giving me a 10% discount. I am definitly going to put it on the drivers side. I will start with 6psi at 6000RPM till I get familiar with it . Pulley that comes with it
Do centrifigul SC have a boost bypass valve for when you are cruising??.
Is a boost bypass not needed because its centrigul and not a roots blower?
