Spill the beans...details!
nice...you had best of both worlds.....did you take them both to the track?....was was the time difference between the too?I went from 302 supercharged to 347 stroker.
In supercharged form the car was so finicky. Different temps / humidity in Florida caused the car to run like a rocket or get bogged down. The boost was never the same number due to weather. My Vortech was a V-1 so the whine at idle gave me goose bumps. I had the 16" ponies on the car with drag radials out back. The sleeper look outside made it fun.
With the stroker the torque was so much more usable everyday. It made a little more TQ than the blower but you could really feel it.
475HP
Stock 302 Block- GT40X heads, Crower Cam, Edelbrock RPM intake, 70MM TB, 80MM MAF, 42lb Injectors, Long Tubes, 2.5" full exhaust, Vortech S-Trim 12psi and more.
415HP
347 Stroker- AFR 185 Heads, Comp Custom Grind Cam, Holley Systemax Intake ported, 70MM TB, 30lb Injectors, Pro-M 80MM MAF, MAC 1-3/4" Long Tubes Ceramic w/ 3" Collector, MAC 3" Prochamber, MAC 3" Cat Back, P.M.S.
Vortech has owned Paxton for quite a few years now. The Si is comparable to the Novi2000 but the Paxton unit has the edge performance wise in my opinion. The Si is easier on the wallet and is also self contained making the install easier. Each unit has its own benefits!I've been going back and forth with the same idea. Somedays I want to supercharger then I want a stroker. My h/c/i just isn't enough. Right now I'm leaning supercharger as I'm at high altitude and fear a 347 still won't give me enough. Then I can't decide between a s trim or a novi2000. Lol.
Thats great info thereI went from 302 supercharged to 347 stroker.

Don't be a wuss... No one just runs 9 pounds of boost. Isn't that why they make a renegade crank pulley? LolHow about a supercharged 347?Make it 9.0:1 compression and then run about 9psi of boost. The best of both worlds on pump gas.
Yeah definitely I'm leaning towards the novi!Vortech has owned Paxton for quite a few years now. The Si is comparable to the Novi2000 but the Paxton unit has the edge performance wise in my opinion.

If you plan on sticking with the stock block, the Novi 2000 is probably more blower than you'll ever need. I'd go with whichever one (Novi 2000 or V3 Vortech) you could get a better deal on. Both will make enough power to scatter the stock block.Yeah definitely I'm leaning towards the novi!
i went through this before i did my engine,thought a stroker would be good enough,it really is but,now im going backwards and after having to upgrade tranny,and other things to support a sc that i now want to add.....it will be ready for one after this summer,im looking at a 1220 si though.....would i order straight from the site you listed or through you?....a few bucks is a few bucks...thanksThe v3 is definitely more quiet than the Novi. The Novi kids are definitely more money as well. @jchav02 if you ever needed a good deal on a blower kit let me know. We are top tier dealers for Vortech/Paxton and I'll bet you won't find a better price anywhere! superchargerwholesale.com
