It's never to late to supercharge, know lots of guys bolting on superchargers to 70-90k miles 4.6 cars. I won't be able to supercharge until around 50k miles or so and given the chance I will jump at it

Just curious, but why not turbo charge it instead of supercharging it. From my research and talking with performance enthusiasts, I hear the turbo is the way to go. Its puts no stress on the engine when your not hitting that go pedal. Its better for the engine and the life of that engine. As long as you keep the boost within normal levels 5 to 8 psi one should get 200k out the engine with no issues. From my understanding the cars that are pushing 20 to 30 boost are blowing there stuff up. From my understanding the turbo is the way to go over the supercharger. The supercharger is taking power away to make power. Just curious on why not a turbo kit.

Its my understanding that even when the supercharger is not being used it still causes stress to the engine.

1st reason is price and second reason is all centri superchargers are basically the same way and ALOT cheaper

Centri superchargers are basically the same as turbo's????? When you speak of centri superchargers would the pro charger system be considered that type of supercharger. What boost level would you say be a completely safe level where damage would not be caused to the engine. I see that pro charger seems to set the boost at 8 psi for the 11 plus V6. Is that safe? How often does the supercharger snap the belt that's running it? Does the belt snap because the boost is set too high?

No they arnt basically the same but they perform alot alike. What I mean is the power doesn't kick in until around 3-3500 rpm
