I'm loving my procharger setup. I was able to source everything for slightly over $3500 including fueling but the best thing was I was able to do everything myself in my own garage without having to weld or give up any street car neccesities like a/c, cruise, traction control, abs. I'm not knocking turbos, but it just wasn't something I was willing to tackle myself. Who knows, maybe one day I'll switch, but for now, I'm having fun being procharged.

i toss around the idea of going turbo every year and every time I do im talked out if it by a few sponsors on here as well as people who switched over from turbos. (mainly due to reliability) so i just went with a bigger blower! maybe someday when I want 11 or 1200 RWHP ill make the jump. those turbos sure do make SICK power.

Exactly the way I feel, except I,m running a Vortech. Did it in my garage by myself for right about the same money and kept all my accessories. Someday when I get a little more confidence I,ll do a turbo.

Well I had my Procharged street car with all my accessories, but then I wanted to go fast. Ditched all my accesssories and tried to go faster witht he Procharger. But in the end switched to Turbo.


Both are great but I would never go back to Supercharged after being turboed

To be fair, you did go pretty quick with your Procharger setup, just you've gone faster now with the turbo setup.

It is pretty cool pulling into a parking lot with a Procharger though. Everyone turns and looks and wonders what that sound is. I tell people I have a bearing going in my water pump lol.

This is true I did go fast with the Procharger. I just love the on the fly adjustablity of boost you can get from a turbo car.

The sound of a procharger is great too. Don't get me wrong. But I also enjoy having a much quiter car now even with less exhaust.

Thanks. Other than getting to the distributor, access is not much different than any other small block in a first generation Camaro.
