thanks.

 

I don't know one way or the other but you may want to research whether the test was fair or not. I know that with the vortech, depending on your use, you can get straight blades, or could atleast not long ago. They had quite a few 'custom' impeller designs depending on your application. Make sure that Procharger doesn't offer the same and that Vortech didn't pick their most efficient to go against Procharger's least efficient design for the testing done. Maybe Procharger does offer a curved blade design?

Also, just because I thought you might be trying to look at all the options, this is the link to the company that makes the original Paxtons still.

They are the original ball-drive paxtons. If you are cuious what that means, well, it means that instead of the impellor being rigidly driven such as by gears, it is driven instead through the friction of a special 'ball-bearing'. The advantage is that It slips slightly internally and helps prevent the belt from slipping but eventually catches up to full speed and then maintains speed a little better between shifts as it takes longer to slow down to the speed of the engine. They also have self contained oiling and mainteance is changing the oil and occasionally changing the balls as they wear. It's not a bad design. It's been around since the 50's (rare factory option on the '57 T-bird for one) and was popular well into the 90's. Just an idea.

 

Wow my family own 6 1957 T-Birds and I didn't know they ever came with a supercharger.
Just a bit of OT info and my surprise!

 

 

Here is a procharger in a S2000.

that looks good, is that somebody on the board?

 

well lady's, it's pretty much a game over for me. i think im goin turbo, or at least a smaller blower. i gave it my all, i just dont think this blower is meant for our car. if any of you know somebody that might want the novi2000, it only has like 10hrs on it, its a $2200.00 blower and i think im gonna go for $1250.00+shipping. im gonna post in the for sale forum but i figured i would explain the situation to you guys a little more. thanks for all your input and advice(asura,black nugget,hukares,sideways,slows2k,ect.) ill explain my next set-up once i figure out what i wanna do.

I don't see how crankcase pressure will build in the SC, Comptech uses a oil return line than alwas has oil on the bottom, and oil is sprayed in from the top. It's effectively sealed from the crankcase.
