Ok I'm thinking about getting a supercharger. I have an 03 4.6 Gt. If I'm going to be spending thousands of dollars I want one thats worth every penny.... What should I get? |

If you want a nice street blower, go with some sort of roots-style blower. Probably either the aforementioned Whipple or Kenne Bell. If you are really serious about making the most powerful possible, go with a centrifugal like a Vortech, Procharger, or Paxton.
A roots blower will make boost throughout the powerband, even at low RPMs. So they are great for something you'll be driving every day and want just for the fun of having the extra power. If you want something to race though, a centrifugal will make more boost and power at high RPMs. |

GTs dont like much over 450rwhp I would stick it at 400rwhp/tq~ you could use the money and upgrade to a better platform to start with, but that is just a suggestion.

Don't listen to them..
If you have a stock 4.6 bottom end and you're looking to supercharge whatEVER you get i'd keep it under 10PSI or you could detonate and eventually blow your engine, it's rare that a unbuilt 4.6GT block takes can make 420 - 450HP reliably.
As for specific brands, definately keep away from POWERDYNE.. eww.
Personally i'd go with Vortech.. v-2 series is nice
Procharger is nice as well. Remember keep it under 10PSI!!! And whatever you do don't go over 5500RPM with the s/c
Nice ride BTW

Thanks. Well I was actually thinking about Vortech. Another thread I read the other day was talking badly about Prochargers. Motor wise I havent done anything yet. Its coming soon but I have no idea where to begin. I'll have to do my research. |

Before a supercharger i'd consider getting some nice headers, and maybe even some cams. Some nice VT stage 1 cams should suite you well especially if you're thinking about s/c in the future. VT makes some nice ones and i'd recommend comp cams. I like the BBK headers but if you want to do it big get some KOOK headers =) You'll notice a huge performance increase and might actually improve your gas mileage.
Vortech is the way to go. Procharger is not bad at all, it's much more simple and rugged. Highly reliable.
Kook headers run around $900 but they're NIICCEEEE. You could probably get some BBK for around 4-500 make sure you get ceramic coated though, handles the heat much better.. Cams would probably run 5-700, if you're lucky you could get both for under 1k and you'd notice a huggee difference. You're still going to haul ass either way =)  |

I have the vortech sq (10psi) on my '06, other than 39# injectors and u/d pulleys, it has stock internals. I had it dynotuned by Chris Johnson from SCT. He likes the centrifugals because they build boost and are easier on internals. I'm makin' 410rwhp, which is plenty for me, I wouldn't want to go much higher without making the engine a little beefier. I think a s/c give you the best bang for the buck, just my .02. |

nitrous will always be the best bang for your buck(unless you have a stock turbo car like a dsm or evo, in which case a 5$ boost controller can give you the greatest bang for buck mod), but the cool thing about a full-time power adder, is that its always there when you want it. you dont have to arm and hit a safety switch, open the bottle, purge, then step on it, you just hit the throttle and go.
its all about your goals. like Invictus said, Vortech or Procharger and keep it under 10psi on stock internals will make for a good setup, and you can upgrade airflow later on to give even more.

A supercharger is definately a huge boost, full time, no doubt.. I just recommend the other mods first to see how you like it before you go with the s/c. A supercharger is a pretty extreme mod and you'll start seeing your mp/g drop like crazy! If it's worth it to you go for it!
< 10PSI ! |

Exactly. But the turbos for the modulars can get pretty expensive.. Especially on the 281s !

Well Every one I know around here sprays NX. I dont really think its for me. For one thing I dont want to blow up my motor hahaha. Plus I want to be able to out run someone on motor than with a nx setup. I mean dont get me wrong I like Nitrous I bought my x a second stage.... in which he sprayed a 225 shot and blew up his motor dumb@$$... anyway I really want bragging rights and I want it done perfect so I guess I need to start with heads and cam. I guess when I get it built I can start thinking about a supercharger. |

I like your thinking. To me, there's nothing better than an N/A motor that will run with most (if not all | | |
