trying to decide what would be best supercharger or turbos. What are the pros and cons and which do you think would be better for more horses.
 
I'd say single turbo would be the best bet................... barring that youve got a forged bottom end.
 
Well we all used to think that the Paxton was the way to make the most power with a supercharger. While it does make some more power than a Roe on a stock motor the difference isn't huge. I think the idea that a Paxton would make big power on a built motor has been officially proven wrong. Two recent builds have shown the Paxton running out of boost at just 4psi yielding around 650hp. The Paxton just isn't large enough or move enough air to build any boost on higher volume, more free flowing engines. I should have the results of mine very soon but am expecting more of the same.

So that pretty much leaves turbos for truly big power. Whether you choose a big single or twins, right now this is the way to go. Two guys are working on running a very large Vortech supercharger, we'll see how that goes, that plan is as yet unproven.
 
depends on how much money you have, expect 20k or more to get over 700rwhp, and thats with turbos.

supercharger your gonna make tops 700rwhp, and eventually build the bottom end.

You can try all kinds of silly tricks, manifolds, resistors, plugs, air inlets, tb's, but to make real hp, you got to spend the $, you just cant do it with a $50 mod

Not Vortech..... PROCHARGER F-2's!
 
Flow/Volume/Pressure.................thats all I think about being a Hydraulic Technician :) CFM is Volume ;)

And flow would be the byproduct of Volume and pressure............. :dontknow:
 
O yea in know..................... I'm just kicking around thoughts.

Its just other smaller engines make a lot of power with this size blower. With cooler options available. Hell I dont want any more speed. Right now on the street it spins HARD to 60 mph on the 5 degree tune.

I'll forge it in a year and tune it for the max. It's got to have a lot left with everything eddie did and making less hp than stock roes.

shes safe and pretty and thats the most important thing :)
 
I agree with Stinker...

My Roe is close to running out of fuel with the stock fuel rails and fuel pump at about 8 lbs of boost.

I think I am near the max with the Roe and a reasonable amount of safety. While I have head work it is minimal and more would probably immediately out strip the existing fuel system capability.

I've spent well over $20k with the forged bottom end, Roe SC, water/meth injection.

Those numbers don't include the expense of trying to gain traction or make it pretty!

Cubic dollars is what it takes...multiple turbos...and a resident great engine tuner, free access to a dyno and a traction guru are the route to big hp to the ground.

How much do you want to spend and how much power do you want to make?

The horsepower of your truck is limited only by the size of your wallet :D

Roy, for about $1,000 you can install an aftermarket fuel pump and Boost a pump. You would be able to run 10 pounds of boost and make even more hp than you are making now. ;)

Amen to that brother! By my research 1000HP at the crank seems to be possible around the $15k mark (if you could do all of the work/tuning yourself). More than that it increases exponentially!

Maybe in the spring...but I haven't even had much of a chance to drive it since the rebuild...and it is put away for the winter now.
