If Ryne wants you to then you must.

but maggies are weak.

you seem quite confused on how to make 1000whp and be fast..

well thats where hes doing it wrong, they should be.

Poll should be;

ECS
AGP
Procharger

letting Camaro5 decide your fate through a poll is foolish. 75% of these cars are blinky light cars and slow as balls.

10aSSee D · 12-21-2013, 09:08 AM

No it's not where he messed up, he wants a whipple or a procharger not a turbo or ECS kit. You're doing the same thing when you say letting camaro5 choose his kit and here you are doing the same. I have a whipple so I guess I made a bad decision right? I'm just saying people ask a question about 2 different superchargers and get told to look at 5 different kits. Just answer their question they asked and be done. There is nothing wrong with ECS or AGP kit they are really nice set ups just not what he asked about.

The centri is actually more streetable around town. It's not constantly making boost. But when you push the R's up a bit hold on! If you never push it you would never know it's blown.
I went with a Paxton centri and have been very happy with the ability to manage power when driving.

Just start saving now for your tire fund!

Whipple doesn't make boost either until you step on the go pedal, acts just like a intake until the gas is mashed.

When I made the choice for a supercharger options where very limited. However, I thought hard about really where the RPMs would be most of the time I was driving. For me the car doesn't see 5K that often. The choice for me based on the options at the time was a tvs2300. No complaints so far. As for as the turbo option, I personally haven't driven one but I was cutting 1.7x 60ft times on 20" 555Rs with 500 WHP. To me the off idle power is fun on a street car. If I were making the choice you're looking at I would probably go with the whipple. Hope this helps you out with the decision but there is no wrong choice. You'll be happy either way for different reasons.

Just tell the misses that CMS says you have to. I am sure she will understand and if not see if Ryne can hook you up with a good lawyer too
