I want a full bolt on and go kit.

ProCharger has ready to go bolt on kits from mild to wild, customer range from bone stock cars, to crazy 1300+ HP F-1X builds on these Camaros.

Give us a call, at 913-338-2886 so that we can get you in touch with a dealer. (We do not sell factory direct) But we would be more then happy to answer any question you may have.

Though, with our standard system and a days worth of work in the garage, you can bolt your system on, load your tune and enjoy the boost by the end of the weekend.

Thanks!

Trick question because a procharger is a supercharger. A better way to put it would be centrifugal (procharger/vortech) vs. roots/twin screw (magnacharger/whipple).

All of those companies have kits that bolt on and go.

A roots/twin screw type blower replaces the intake manifold. Feels insane off the line (makes about all the torque it will make as low as 2500rpm roughly). A centrifugal blower has a more linear power & torque curve...so feels more like a rocket ship that gets faster and faster as you get into upper RPMs. If that makes sense.

Camaros do well with roots/twin screw as they are heavy, so it helps get them off the line fast. However. If you plan to drag race a lot you can find that you have too much power off the line and have problems hooking up...where a centri might let you get out of the hole better.

Either way I don't think you can go wrong...they both have their pros and cons and at the end of the day it is a little of 'grass is always greener on the other side'.

Here are two recents we have built for comparison if you want to check them out.

2010 LS3 Camaro, procharger & 545 cam

2010 LS3 Camaro, magnacharger & 545 cam*

*this one is running more boost hence the extra power. But you can still see the difference in the shape of the graphs.

Id like to get a roots style that will fit with the 14 SS hood and has the most supercharger sound. I don't really care for the looks of the E-Force. To me it dont look like a supercharger.

That's one of the reasons I'll be going with an ECS Novi1500 Centri supercharger. Of course there are many more reasons I won't go into here.

There is only one roots/twin-screw supercharger that I know of that will fit on the 2014 with the stock heat extractor and that is the Magnusson Heartbeat which is $9000.00. There are a few others that will fit only if you change the stock heat extractor to one made by SLP.

Edit: The Eforce might fit also but he didn't want an Eforce....

The heartbeat isn't $9000...it can be had much cheaper

Its on the site as $8695.00. Ok not $9000 but high enough that I rounded up. And, I'm sure someone is selling it a little cheaper then that, however it still is a heck of a lot more then the Novi1500 or Procharger!!

I was thinking to go with the Procharger... but love the low RPM torque from the Roots type. But I'm not looking forward to heat soak, then the horsepower drops dramatically.
This is my daily driver now, not like I road race. Just a half dozen trips to the track a year (1/4 mile). Still thinking procharger because I think once I feel the power I'll want more!

But getting old and lazy.
What would you do?

Bought a D1SC from you all a month ago and it just shipped yesterday.

If you're looking to get something put on within a few weeks of ordering, don't go procharger.

Don't understand why it takes nearly a month to process an order then ship it 200 miles.

Procharger has ALOT more sound than a roots style blower and can produce ALOT more power
