Supercharger??? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

No. I just think with these heavy cars they need torque as soon and as long as possible. The turbos just don't provide that. And for results, I think the list speaks for itself.

TRC-SS · 06-09-2013, 05:35 PM

For good power and drivability I love my SLP TVS2300. With out doing headers, Cai or cutom tune i just dropped the blower on and made 502rwhp. I do plan on adding everything else later. But my goals are 650ish RWHP and im done. I dont race the car, just cruise around and go to shows.

If your looking for more that, step up to the whipple or definately the ECS Kit or procharger. Those all can make crazy power.

Thats what vortech told me about my 2011 they said it only works on 2010 models but it bolted right up with no issues the tune was the only thing that I had to do.

I guess you are right. Give me a few more months and I will add a third turbo to the list.

One thing is for sure, that TVS looks really nice in the engine bay.

We have built a ton of 2010+ camaros and the roots style blowers feel WAY faster than the procharged set ups. Feel free to stop by the shop and i will show you around. We have 5-6 in there now and a few getting blowers.

Going to call you this week about being a dealer since you are badass.

Turbos aren't peaks if sized right. Agp shop car makes 600+rwtq from 2500-redline.

Ummmm, nope. Turbos when done right, are the tq kings actually. Done right means no rear mounts or U-turn T'netics type.
Drag racing is a very poor way to compare power output because it's all about car setup. All the fast guys are making more than enough power. OP asked about efficiency and without a doubt turbos own efficiency.

And shown a LOT of blown, much more modified cars it's tail lights. And these are not little turbos. They are 1100hp worth of turbo.

With a 3200rpm stall the car is in power any time you want.

It would be nice to see more turbo cars run the numbers. There are some crazy fast turbo cars that lurk around PBIR and I enjoy watching them run. They sound awesome too.

I just came across the AGP turbo kit. Looks nice, anyone using this?

Slickcas · 06-10-2013, 07:39 AM

Yep turbos are the most efficient by far. As superchargers go the Vortech V3 is the most efficient unit out at the moment just do not expect to go much over 650 rwhp with it on our big 6.2.

If you like to have a car that drives like stock but comes alive in a big way the harder you push it get a Centrifugal.
If you like to have a car to have instant power and hold that same power to red line get a PD I personally like the Whipple.

Most people like that instant hit the PD give. But as far as Street use your going to be traction Limited no matter which way you go and the Centrifugal's are much easier to launch on a Non-prepared Surface.

If you are looking for streetable power do research on procharger F-1D

Yes. Top quality, great power, easy install, and good price.

Instructions for it are the only part holding it up from being fully released. Right now you can get them installed through FSP/ADM and other shops. Then again it is so easy to do yourself I would just bolt it on in the garage in an afternoon. No cutting, drilling, welding, etc.

Vortech !!! Was looking around just like you and I'm very happy I picked Vortech
