Took them Camaro out for its final drive till spring. Nice 20 mile highway drive with a 130mph sprint. But man I need to get a new built trans. And that Procharger is looking more appealing to get the car out of the hole better .

I'll pretend I didn't just read that.

Is there any lag with the Procharger setup? I've read where the centrifugal type blowers experience something similar to "turbo-lag" until the RPMs climb.

Damn right you will

I know I've heard tony mention it about his cars, that he'd rather go roots style because on the Viper he revs that sucker up. But when I read in the FI forums they always talk about Prochargers being great at having power throughout the entire range (good under curve power). Unlike with a H/C where your typically having to rev higher. So to answer your Q, I don't know

I guess that makes two of us. Even if there is a bit of lag, it'll still rate much higher on the fun-o-meter. I've owned a couple turbocharged vehicles and the tiny bit of lag never detracted from the ****-eating grin on my face every time I mashed the loud pedal! Only up to the posted speed limit, of course.

I love smoking spammers, though it's been slim picking around here lately. I guess that's a good thing...
