any advice on superchargers ?
 

Hi,

I'm thinking of putting a SC in my 06 GT. Can’t decide on Kenny Bell, Ford racing or Roush etc.. Any advice on price, warranty and power gains are much appreciated..

I went with Paxton's 2200 HO kit from Brenspeed.com.
Made 502HP at the wheels on my 06GT.

Ford racing isn't worth the money...only gives you a 75-100HP gain over stock. Out of the choices you've listed, I would go with the KB.

You know, i ran paxton on my Fox and it failed after a few thousand km.

That somewhat turned be off from that unit, I now run Vortech.

Yeah, but that was an SN93!! Those things sucked donkey balls. The newer Paxton's are great, as are the Vortech chargers.

In this situation, it depends what you want out of your car. Dont look at peak HP numbers. HP sells cars, torque wins races. A very wise man once said that. Overall power, useable power, is important. So, for a very fast street car you want a blower like the KB which gives you massive torque right away to get you going right away. Guys that opt for centrifugal blowers argue that this is more stressful on the parts, but honestly.... when we put together our cars are we really worried about stressing the parts or going fast? It will be almost just as stressed if you're winding it to 6500 RPM to get the full potential out of it!
For a street car with good suspension and tires, get the KB. If you want a car that's quick on the street but will hit the track often, get a centrifugal charger and some stronger axles cuz you'll be dropping the clutch at 4000 RPM to get the best out of it. I love torque, I would get the KB either way.

I love my vortech but the KBs are supposed to work well on those motors

From what I have read the magazines I would agree!!!!
