Blower vs. Turbo

Better as in what? More power? Or a better "all around" option?

Obviously, twin turbos will put out more power. But, they cost 4-5 times as much and aren't as reliable. :dontknow: I haven't seen a good working option for a single turbo.... So I would have to say a Supercharger is the "best" all-around option.

Too many undefined parameters here.

If the budget is unlimited and a built motor and new rear end is an option, the twin turbos.

If the budget is limited the Paxton is best route. :dontknow:

I have a built motor with a Paxton and am making 1071rwhp.....its too much already to stick...

While your Paxton is making peak power- how much is being robbed from the belt drag off the crankshaft ??

 

[Blakewilder]

Not enough to matter since even on slicks mine is a bundle to drive.

On reading your Sig and seeing you are running anywhere from 10-15psi Boost I estimate there is atleast a 65-75hp LOST from driving the blower off the crankshaft.... could be more....

There is always going to be HP lost from a supercharger. This could be due to belt-slippage or mechanical force. :dontknow: It can still be a good, RELIABLE option though.

Even by minimizing the belt slippage issue by swapping in a cogged belt set-up, you will still eat up some hp while the Supercharger is making boost.....

Just noticed all the Diesel power in your sig... :rock: Do you visit CompetitionDiesel.com much? :dontknow:

The man is putting down over 1000rwhp. I don't think belt slippage or parasitic losses are hindering him too aweful much, lol.

LOL - Richard is doing fine. Now that you 'know' who I be, you can understand why I desire a turbo set-up on my SRT.....:burnout: :burnout:
