Not knocking the roots, merely stating PEAK h.p. numbers...smart ass Marine... :lol: :cheersftlfirefighter said:Steve, of course a centrifigual blower is going to make more hp than a roots type. The biggest difference is where the power is made, if you compare the charts you'd see the roots makes WAY more power down low, boost is right off idle where you need it. Sure for top end go with the prochager but for 0-60 and 1/4mile where the engine isn't at it's peak RPM the roots has it beat.
Which is which?!!!!GTPprix said:LOL it's funny to see people arguing about this, I've had both.. one made 372 to the tires on the first pull and by the third it made 298 (less than stock) and in everyday driving after it warmed up it felt like a car with headers.
The other made 445 on a 90 degree day, hot motor and a mustang dyno and by the third sucessive pull it was only down to 432 and on the street it's a rocket.
Unless you have owned BOTH on THIS PARTICULAR car I dont think anyone should be making assumptions here, while one companies kit works wonders on Vettes and Trucks, on this car it's not all that..
When I said the Procharger put down 455 rwhp I meant it was bone ass stock!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even exhaust!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with you to an extent... :cheersphobos512 said:I don't believe GTPPrix kept the Maggie long enough to get the fixes that Magnuson developed in the fuel rails and the tune. A Maggie'd 04 GTO with a Magnaflow exhaust, tuned, put down 445rwhp over the weekend (the Magnaflow was shown to gain approx 16rwhp over the stock exhaust). There's also an auto Maggie'd GTO (one of the first) that put down almost 430rwhp with just the Maggie. And it's been shown that variation due to heatsoak is negligible now - 5-10rwhp over several successive pulls, so don't knock it till you've tried it.![]()
Is that an '04 or '05? And are you saying that I can bolt the Procharger onto my '05 and do absolutely nothing else and get those numbers? What's the downside to supercharging, if any?GTODEALER said:Vortech really isn't a favored brand, too cluttered and not enough power for the money! Procharger makes 455 rwhp on a stock car, the Maggie makes around 405 rwhp on a stock car.....as does the Vortech. :cheers
04 numbers, nothing for the 05's yet, but yeah you should be able to bolt on one of these and nothing else and have a hell of a fast ride! :cheersvmax said:Is that an '04 or '05?

I was told by the Service Manager at my Dealer that supercharging would not only void the engine warranty, but the entire powertrain warranty.70sFlashback said:Hmmmm...I'd be interested in supercharger for my '05 particularly the ProCharger when a '05 application is ready.
I'd like to echo VMax's question and ask the experts what the downside is to supercharger besides voided factory warranty? Engine life? Reliability? Maintainence?
Thanks!
