why do you guy's like a turbo vs a centrif Supcharger?

$200 bucks...its the plumbing thatll kill you.

Want American, How about a big Holset Off a Cummins out of a junk yard? (although I thinkthey are Brit?)

Superchargers, they take 50-100HP to run them depending on boost level, they are belt and gear driven so they make noise, there are many moving parts in a gear driven supercharger, and they all produce drag, its not very EZ to manipulate boost levels unless you change pulley sizes, Belt drive supercharger have gear change lag, ie when you drop RPM's, the boost level goes down proportionally to the RPM drop. A Turbo has more of a buffer (stored pressure) especially in automatic cars, less lag (not to be confused to its own shortfall, turbo lag, which can actually be beneficial in wheel spin control) When you are not using them, they are still running. Throw a belt, dent your hood...

Whats a paxton cost?

There is ABSOULTELY NO WAY, I'm useing a used turbo. No way, no how, just forget about it. Figure, I spend alot of money building a wicked strong bottom end and you all want me to put a used POS on top?!?!

You all GOTTA be kidding me. Seriously!!!!!!!!!! :wack:

Depending on the supercharger type and HP level being chased. I hate to say it Pista, your very wrong.

Top fuel guys are useing a unit that will take 300+ HP to drive for the power there pumping out.
Street Paxtons pumping up/out 5 -7 psi use up less than 10 hp to drive.
The "Tuner kit" is under $2600; http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PAX-1201850/
The complete kit is $3110; http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PAX-1201851/

For me, this is a easy bolt on kit, OOTB power. Minus a boost retard ignition and a seious fuel pump for pressurizing your engine. IIRC, that's what I'll need.


Now, back to a "NEW TURBO" price?
