We recommend the Kraftwerks kits over other superchargers for several reasons. They provide a unique, useable power curve. They generate steady and predictable power that results in reduced cylinder pressures, less strain on engine components, and increased reliability. Rotrex superchargers also operate much cooler when compared to turbochargers and other supercharger systems, which reduces the engine’s intake air temperature as well as its risk of detonation. They are also fairly straight forward in terms of installation and don't require extensive maintenance.

We currently have awesome Kraftwerks pricing! Feel free to shoot me a pm.

The comptech kit has been completely redone since the novi 1000 days. I have a 1200 ct kit that's smog legal.

Yep and safe to say SOS probably has the edge on longevity and reliability over the short and long hull. There is no design flaws or weak links anywhere in the SOS system and Paxton blowers last longer, wile producing less heat because they spin half the 100,000rpm the Rotrex units do. Company support has proven once again to be better as well. Its not a hard decision to me once you weigh everything accurately to date along with historically. My consensus here has nothing to do with you at all btw, it just is what it is. Ive been around a wile.

Sounds like a good sales pitch.

It's a sales pitch alright, but I wouldn't call it a good one. When you make or sell the best product you usually don't have to self promote it so much. This post makes it's copy paste attempt on every thread like this and makes it appear that KW is the consensus #1 for everyone and that is a lie. Glad several people called it out this time.

To stay on topic though, my SOS 2 has been trouble free for 3 years and 33,000 miles. The price is a drawback for some but as s2000Junky said above, its the best data backed and probably the most reliable option due to excellent customer support and feedback history on s2ki simply because its been out for so long. The only thing you can really knock on SOS is the price. If you don't like the power band or the output, you can simply upgrade to a smaller pulley and just make more power...something that you can't do on the maxed out KW.

I agree with pwrinxs.

Ive had my same SOS kit for over 3 years on two different cars. It started life as a base stage1 with an fmu box. It was great for a while but when i wanted to upgrade and i did. Now im at 438whp with a 1220 compressor and a 3.2 pulley. If i was power hungry i could always get a 1200 compressor (stage2) and shoot for 500+

On this setup ive been able to reliably go from south florida to the dragon (around 2k round trip with all the driving we did), auto x, and do track days and stay as reliable as oem. I also had to daily the car at times when my truck was down or when i would loan it out to family. The SOS/comptech setup is tried and true.

The SOS is a nice kit I agree, but it's also nice to have options. It's not the only game in town and there are pros and cons with each kit or system. I personally like the tts rotrex kit and it has been trouble free so far. It's a lot quieter than the Paxton and 510whp at only 16psi is very efficient. I would be happy with either kit trust me
