And another guy I know had cobracraft make up his brackets to mount one to an EFI 5L in a LH torana. To say they are too hardcore no... definately not... there is all different models available from 500HP capable units to 2300HP units....

Ive got a Vortech V2 on my VS 5.0L Its a great blower. The only thing i dont like about it is the noise they make at idle or deceleration. My VS made 236rwkw on 9psi. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hehe sorry man, for some reason instead of reading and thinking procharger, I was thinking and reading Raptor superchargers Procharger do definately make HP...raptor on the other hand... My mistake, next time I'll re-read everything first haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No stress... but raptor?? never heard of??

v6 commodore Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Raptor are Australian based and claim to be more efficient, technology advanced and be able to make more power than vortech's, they are only new and I was doing a bit of reading up on them... http://www.raptorsc.com.au/

i'd personally go the v2.. their good for power.. ive heard **** reports about the v7's, plus i think their very noisy.. i like the top mounts, whipple, eaton etc.. i recon the whine sounds tough.. i think the eaton m112's are best suited for the 5 litres... (not saying their better then vortech).. my mate's got a procharger (dunno the type) on his 372 cube carby with a blow through.. max it flows is 38 pounds boost.. and i think its rated at 1200+.. never had an issue with it, but **** it tares belts.. lol.. ive personally never liked the looks of the raptors.. vortechs and whipples look good imho

my plans were to stroke the 5L and supercharge it but yeah just thikin of doin one or the other now hey all this talk about the kits you can get sounds pretty impressive

Last year I tuned a VT senator 5.7 (304 factory stroker) with a Pro-charger on it. It made good top end power but didnt have that much torque due to the linier delivery of boost. The Pro-chargers also create just as much intake temps as the PD top mount blowers. At idle the Pro-chargers chatter and are louder than a PD blower. Personally I would go a PD blower, the torque is instant and thats what you fit a blower for. otherwise go turbo.

yeah ok sweet by saying PD what does that stand for? is it positive displacement? lol sorry if im wrong

yeah hes talking about a roots type blower (positive displacement)...top mount ones made by eaton for example.

ok sweet cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Whats your budget and power target?

just remember a supercharger pretty much means instant defect. got rooted for having one on mine. ****in epa tests and everything

In NZ if you have a modified car you have to get it certified, and if you have the cert plate the cops can't touch you. You can have the basic mods (springs, exhaust, rims etc) without a cert, but once you get into engine swaps, coilovers, forced induction etc you need it certed

why would you get defected just for having a supercharger...and get in trouble with the EPA? i would have thought a turbo would be more likely to get you into trouble than a blower, seeing as a turbo runs on exhaust gases whereas as a supercharger is basically an air pump driven by a belt. superchargers arent illegal, but i assume you would need an engineers certificate if you put an aftermarket one on your car, and definitely if you swapped your engine for an L67 for example. i dont think supercharger means instant defect if you've gone about it the right way.

yes you need an engineers. even if you get that, you can still be reported to the EPA if you get a prick of a cop like i did.

What supercharger have you fitted though? If it's an L67 conversion it shouldn't be that big-a-deal because it's all factory gear, but if you've fitted one of those abortion SC14 things...cop probably thought he was doing the world a favour
