I have been looking deep into supercharging my car and posting various threads see if i can learn alittle more and more about why i should get one over the other...its a big decision with alot of money and i wanna make sure to get the best one i feel is the best for me
procharger vs vortech why is one better
- Thread starter blackvenom01
- Start date
Procharger
Procharger
Better (higher) step up ratio
Cooler unit temps, self contained
Cooler outlet temps
Air to Air intercooling
Powering the fastest cars in the world, need I say more?
Both Procharger and Vortech blowers do the same thing. Its all in what you want and what you plan on doing with it. Both have pros and cons, just some with more pros than cons.

im just gonna be using for street use i dont plan on going to the trackat most one or two passes a year
Honestly either would get the job done. Its all about your setup, gears suspension etc. :rolling:
Dont forget you dont need alot of power to run good 1/4 times. You need to put it down.
These guys did :rockon:

ya im not interested in 1/4 mile time i just a love working on my car and feeling the power gain and B i wanna have good fun on the street and when i wanna beast i can i love knowing what i can do even if i dont use it 1 tenth of the time...
i know you have said doing the eaton swap before but i really dont wanna deal with having to piece that together hoping i get it right and such

i love my procharger never had any issues with it
i see you have 493hp did you change out your rods and pistons
It really comes down to who you're asking.
Vortech has a self-contained line if that's the type you're interested in.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger | Vortech Superchargers
Otherwise, I run a V2 SC-Trim on my car with a methanol kit, and I'm very happy with the way it performs. I also have a 3 year warranty on the supercharger from Vortech which is nice.

ya i saw that on the v3 some people dont like self contained and some do i guess its all a matter of opinion...
(antiheight) i wish mine was forged but what im thinking im gonna do is just go till it break then forge it and raise the boost

That's what I did...but had a lot of down time between the motors.
I went procharger. Lower IATs that go along with the procharger coming with a FMIC. Not sure on efficiency numbers but either way both are good blowers, I had an S-trim on my notch but I was going to have to run meth so I didn't pulley it down as much as I wanted. Like was mentioned before the FAST cars are running Procharger. Plus you can't beat the "DC-10 taking off" sound I get from my Procharger under boost.
I would say do it before that if you can. There's a chance that the block could be taken out too if a rod lets go.
(rods and pistons) i do all my own work and i would hate to add an extra 1500 to the project when i can do it myself...how hard is it to do rods and pistons yourself...seen any tech articles on how to do it
The Ford service manual (which I have) details the process step-by-step including pictures. However, there is machine work involved as well as balancing.
I would spend the extra to have a reputable shop do it right, but that's just me.

ya seems like that would be better idea to have someone do it
+1000000 Procharger FTW!
i was looking at other threads and then procharger websit along with a few others it seems like they only do p1sc for my car not the d1sc
1. Looks of the blower completed, satin, polished,general install
2. Step up ratio you need. Race or daily driver-how much boost
3. Price
4. Intercooled or not?
In other words,what looks good to you, does it meet your power levels,do i have room to grow, do they have good customer service,etc
thats how you pick a blower.

Even though they are very fast I'm not a fan of the sound of a centri especially a procharger at idle. If it's a track car fine but for a DD I feel it cheapens the car.
As for changing rods and pistons after it's blown it'll cost you 3 times the money if you take out the block and the heads, which is not uncommon.
If you do all the work yourself and the car has low miles you may be able to get away with a simple bottlebrush hone along with a piston and rod swap although that wouldn't be the way I'd do it.
I have a complete longblock for my car just in case I blow it up before I'm ready to rebuild. When I'm ready to rebuild I'll send in the spare motor and have it built if the one in the car is still alive.
