There was a great article in .... Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords by Richard Holdener. http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co...ion/index.html

It compared several different forced induction setups on a 4.6 liter engine. Great info, great comparison. Sure its not a GM engine but the results all speak for themselves.
i guess what i was getting at was, is the procharger better b/c it cools the air prior to the throttle body vs a supercharger which does not? is acceleration, throttle response, 1/4 mile time better with the procharger sys. it claims to offer 175 hp at the crank, vs less hp for the rest at the crank - or at least what i know.
