Well, I picked up my new car this week..






60K miles.. and clean as hell.. It belonged to a lady in Dallas, TX. It's bone stock, and still smells new inside. I picked it up for $9200.00.

I'm a little undecided, still, on which blower setup to go with. I've been reading up on all of the kits for the past month, and I've read mixed reviews. I've narrowed it down to a Vortech V2 SQ with aftercooler kit, or the Procharger P1-SC and aftercooler. I'm building a 5 liter 2 valve stroker for the car.. and I plan on making around 500-550whp. Which do you guys recommend for my goals? Also, will the stock PI heads work up to that power level? I'm going to stud the heads just to be safe.

Flip a coin. I like my Procharger. The Vortecs are excellent. Narrow it down by talking to your installer/tuner.See what they like to work with. Good luck, enjoy.

Good advice.

Personally I'm going with a Novi 2000. Get something that will give you room to grow should you ever decide to make more power. The stock PI heads should be fine for 500hp.

if you want a Procharger, skip the P1-SC and get a D1-SC. the P1-SC runs out of steam at near the 500rwhp mark. i'd go for the S trim over either of those. but you can go better yet and get a T trim or a Novi 2000. or you can say screw it and get a Kenne Bell.

basically...

P1-SC < D1-SC < S trim < T trim < Novi 2000 < KB 2.2/2.4

Where is the cheapest place I can get the KB 1.7, intercooled kit? It's a toss up between that, and the V2 SQ with aftercooler. The cheapest I've been quoted for the V2 is 4250.00 with aftercooler. Is that about right?

i believe the only place you can get KB blowers is from KB themselves.

as far as the S trim, skip the aftercooler and get an intercooler later if you don't have the funds now.

around 400rwhp and 400rwtq. be careful tho, that's about the max you want to make on the stock shortblock. change the oil in the headunit and make sure that the blower isn't leaking oil once you start using it.
