How much do Supercharges weigh?

[rei-04]

How much weight would be added to your stang if you put these on? Just curious.

Around 50 pounds. Not sure on exact #'s but its somewhere around there.

depends on the model, some are a bit more. even if it weighed 500 pounds, it would be a good trade off.

A P1SC Procharger kit with 2 core intercooler is about 93 pounds.....

thanks for the info. I was just trying to compare the weight difference between adding a s/c or a 351w swap.

Shneikees! I'd never have guessed that a procharger weighed that much. I thought my Kenne Bell was heavy.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Adding 500 lbs. to the front end of the already nose-heavy Stangs isn't the best idea if you're into handling. That would shift even more weight off the rear wheels - not a good idea when you're bolting on even more HP and torque.

I too am surprised at the weight of some of the components. I would've guessed 50-75; 100+/- lbs. on the front end from the ProCharger - wow.

The Procharger brackets and blowers are a fair bit beefier then the others out. The cast intercoolers aren't the lightest either.

I thought they were only 10 pounds, lol, they don't look like they would be 50+

Michael, thanks for analyzing my tongue-in-cheek comment. i see your point - i was just trying to say that they dont weight that much (i figured under 100# from seeing one guy carry one, but need a helper to get it situated).

i seem them as one of those mods that 'pay for their additional weight' fairly easily, IMHO. i would say the same of a turbo and intercooler weight.

of course, you had to call out my exaggerated facetious comment. as always, you are correct.

Wow, its funny. When comparing the weight of a small block with a blower and an NA 460, nobody believed me that my D-1 intercooled setup weighed like 75 lbs. Hate to say I told you saw, lol!
