Default Which kit ??

Ive done most of the research and have narrowed it down to two kits....
Opinions and reason why i should choose one or the other in this scenario.

As of now i am leaning torwards to procharger.

Some info:
04 base, exhaust, intake, plenum spacer, i believe 1 or 2 degree colder plugs(will double check), test pipes, will purchase a walbro as well.
Stock block. Looking to make somewhere around 390-400 hp.

I already have a license for Osiris on my Ecu. Will probably get a tune after installation.

1.Like it because its vortech, dont like because gold colored bracket, oil spacer needs to be tapped. i will probably end up buying a pretapped spacer,



$3100 firm plus shipping



Vortech Supercharger w/ 8psi pulley
* Comes w/ GTM pulley mod
* Gold powdercoated bracket
* Polished blower & intercooler
* Cerami-chrome powdercoated upper intake pipes
* T-bolt clamps
* RC 440cc injectors (probably would need a better fuel pump and ECU to use)
* OEM injector wire harness w/ RC pigtail clips soldered in
* FMU and inline fuel pump from Vortech (bought from another member)
* Split Second Box (bought from another member)
* Speedhut Temp Gauge, Oil pressure gauge, boost gauge, 3 gauge pod (bought from another member)
* Oil pressure/temp sensor adapter
* Oil Pan spacer(needs to be tapped)



2. Like it because of all the extras it comes with, dislike color ..will def be changed, a complete kit is what i like...



Polished C2 blower, bracket and intercooler
-GReddy Type S BOV
-Pulley @ 7 psi
-Piping is painted custom House of Kolors purple
-18,000 easy miles - this was a show car, not a race car.
-Extra belt
-Extra ProCharger oil
-ProCharger syphon for doing oil changes
-6ea. 550cc RC injectors
-6ea. 750cc RC injectors
-ProCharger FMU
-K&N air filter
-All required hardware needed for installation; hose clamps, spacers, nuts,bolt, ect.

-3 gauge a-pillar pod
-DEFI boost gauge
-DEFI fuel pressure gauge
-DEFI link box controller
-AEM wideband O2 sensor

-Any other misc parts I have laying around...

If you want everything listed above I will do it for $3500

I know i will be changing out the pulley to accomplish the 390 to 400.
as far as "growing" are you talking about the blower? or other parts

Why not used turbo? Less stress on the engine , might need a custom Y if u got dual exhaust , but in the end it gives a bigger kick and much more fun

prochargers just break expensive belts. thats a deal breaker right there, no pun intended

why not just wait until there's a V3 vortech for sale. then you dont have to tap anything. Tax time is when people swap stuff out.

If the gold bracket isnt what you want, then wait 2 weeks and what you want will probably come up for sale.

Well superchargers are much easier to install. Safe if setup correctly ..as this is a daily as well. Just like I thought everyone is saying vortech. The only reason I liked the procharger was because of the extras and nicer guages.

Str8 the gold bracket isn't something that will break a deal. That can be powder coated easily.. I thought the v2 was better because of it being lubricated with the oil that's already there? Also I'm sure it's gonna cost more significantly ?

I have done some searching and the majority of people seem to have iffy experience with procharger. Like some of the dudes have been posting ^.

I would venture my opinion and go with Vortech. I also have helped some of my friends install these in their shop in Miami, and it can be done at home if you have enough basic tools, which I would imagine most people on this forum have. Especially since there are pic by pic instructions on the installation.
