hey guys just a quick backround im trying to decide in between and procharger stage 2 kit or the kenne bell stage 2 kit for my car( 04 gt ). im looking for good power gains and the car remaining reliable since it is my everyday driver... thanks
procharger or kenne bell
- Thread starter Stang GT
- Start date
KB would be more fun on the street with all of the low RPM Torque. I have decided on the new KB myself over the procharger.
either way i think u'll like it. but i'd go procharger as they make great power all over. and its just the brand i like. and with it being intercooled better, atleast from what it looks like, its just a nicer design. not sure on the price setup of each, but i'd do the cheapest of the two.
for the most ridiculous power output, procharger probly has the KB beat. but for under 500whp goals, both are great

Coming from someone who's had both I prefer the Procharger. Makes as much rwhp thru my auto equiped Mach1 at 6psi than the KB did at 9psi in my 97' Cobra. Also feels torquier(splng?) to me.
Procharged and loving it.
The blower will give 3 times faster boost.
Depends on your primary goal. If chasing e.t.'s is your primary focus, run the procharger. If you want a tough car on the street that doesn't require you to wring its neck to make power, go with the twin screw. You won't go wrong either way & the procharger p1sc setup will cost you less initially but it's all in what you want the car to be.
Personally, I prefer the characteristics of the positive displacement blower over the centrifugal blower. Best thing you can do is go for a ride in both and see which one you enjoy the most.

thank you guys soo much i think i might go put my deposit for the procharger kit tomarrow the guy says that he'll put it at about 400 to the wheels with a safe tune so i dopnt blow the motor any comments on that?
I can't think of a better blower for a daily driver than a positive displacement blower.
400 at the wheels is not out of line. Just make sure the tune is spot on or you'll get an upclose look at the innards of your engine.

Uhh, not a positive displacement blower? I think thats the answer you were looking for.
the 2v's werent built like the cobras... obviously. They dont handle boost as well, with a procharger there is no boost unless you want it... over 2500 rpms. With a positive displacement there is always boost which means??? Always stress on the engine. Positive displacement is not the way to go on stock internal 2v.

Ummm and you have no idea what your talking about
With a Pos dis blower, you have a bypass system and won't see boost unless you want to.
It makes me sick to hear people say that with roots/twin screws are harder on your motor because you see boost al the time. I can take my car to redline without ever seeing boost.
why do you think GM and Ford put roots blowers on their cars vice the centris???? bypass capabilities and reliability.
And no the instant TQ of a roots/screw blower isn't bad either, If your engine is gonna let go it's most likely to be in the higher RPM.
Being that the thread starter has a 2v GT the KB would be the better blower for his application, If he had a 4v i would recommend the centri. The KB 2Vs make 400ish RWHP and 420ish RWTQ on 9psi. Whereas the Centri 2Vs see similar HP but less TQ.

Ok, so what you're telling me is when i'm riding along with my friend in his built kb 2v. When he shifts at 3k, theres no boost. :dw: I guess his boost gauge lies. If you get on it a tiny bit it boosts.
czwalga00gt said:
then he either screwed up his bypass system or disabled it.
Although a the key words in your post are "get on it". Well yeah once you go past a certain throttle position the bypass closes and the blower begins to make boost
Hell if i wanted to i could see 9psi at 3k or 10inches of vacuum...It's all up to my foot

Thats what i'm saying.... I dont know about you but I tend to accelerate to my shifting point rather quickly even when i'm daily driving.
CZ, you're perfectly bass-ackwards on the blower characteristics. The centri builds more boost as rpm rises without respect to the rate of acceleration....only rpm. The positive displacement are controlled off of throttle position and, as was stated, you can keep it completely out of boost if you want. In my cobra, if I even tickle the boost gauge, I am accelerating faster than the majority of traffic. When I accelerate normally, the boost gauge never will move.
