Rx or IPF supercharger?

[V6owner]

Oh man that's just sexy! So close from both coming off te ground!

The wheel was almost seeing air! And the boost controller quit working (my fault, hit the "off" setting) or we would have been making another 3 plus # of boost.

The more the merrier, we all win.

I know you say you dont know how to post pics or video but trust me if i can do it, a monkey could do it. I'm by no means a tech savvy person. Thank heavens for my iPhone and the Tapatalk app. I can post video to YouTube in a matter of minutes and post a pic on this forum of anything I want. If you have an Android or iPhone and a computer, you can easily do this.

I was the first with the kit, I've posted videos and you have seen the pics.

If me vouching for what Make It Rain said is true than you have trust issues.
=)

Also the installation guide was made using my car.

Enough bashing each company's kits. Yes both are in demand by customers and there will be some contest between the two but let's keep it nice on here. Unless you could magically arm wrestle over the Internet.

If anyone has questions about the IPF kit, please feel free to message me. I have had mine for over 3 months now.

Um question, I have not seen it yet.. What is the fuel economy of with RX system for both city and highway?

The IPF SC gets 28mpg on highway at 75-80mph And 17mpg city.

I have several questions, but no one seems to be able to answer them....and Rain will not answer the questions posed to him either.

He has outright lied in this post in regard to the RX system, has had this pointed out and the facts given every time yet contiues to.....so could you answer them?

1. Explain how the crank driven supercharger adds stress to the crankshaft when every GM super charged model, every Ford, every Mercedes, EVERY othe rmanufaturer does this from the factory and yours is drive from the crank is bad? Give details please....show us you have some knowledge since you have appoimted yourself the expert on both.

2. Your pictures do not show a oilseparating crankcase evacuation system....can you please post pictures and explain the function?

3. Please read my quote and reply to rains lies and explain how he is honest on any of the claims he has made regarding the RX system? In detail, how the dyno #'s made his mind up, yet in his posts he claims it does not matter? Which is it, and can someone post his dyno graphs as that seems to be the biggest complaint you guys keep pointing out?

Lets leave it at just the 3 questions. Now show us you actually have a clue please.

Question did you paint your car after the kit install? Because if I recall the first IPF car with the kit/test car was a SIM LLT with IPF all over it.

[V6owner]

I need some popcorn cuz I can't wait for these answers

[OKCwhiteKnight]

Correct me if I'm wrong but,wasn't there someone on here before fr3e4gent with a ipf camaro he bought from them? He posted a few times,very little info except how great it ran.Anyways, if so,that would make three with IPF that are new to C5 and sound like reps,imo. Just saying would like to read about a 'known contributor'to the FI V6 threads to get this kit. If I had this kit, I wouldn't feel the need to sell or defend it.I would get it dyno'd to check advertised #'s and post it and whether I'm happy with it or not like some other of my mods.

Yes,that's whom I was refering to in my prior post.

The problems of bashing products have popped up here before. When Gretchen was in development there was another group trying to do a turbo setup and Tracy was even trying to help them through some of the issues they were running into. They tried bashing the Gretchen build and their car never was finished.
There are some differences between the two kits, but the overall supercharger unit is the same from what I've heard and each company makes a quality kit. To reach the power potential the RX kit has, the IPF kit would need a couple of the upgrades that Tracy has already developed(super-chiller, upgraded fuel pump are the two biggies). Are they add-ons to Tracy's kit, yes, but he was there working the bugs out(with some help). Would he sell them without his kit, probably, because he's always helped.

I understand you were giving your opinion, but it tends to come out as bashing the other kit. I had even seen in another thread where the IPF kit had laid down a 13.0 in the quarter and compared it to a poor showing by the RX kit so it had to be superior. It doesn't quite work like that, or I'd be able to walk around stating my car was faster than the v8 Challenger and GTO's I've beat in the past. It can give an idea of the power being made, but there's weather, traction, driver quality that all figure into the equation.
I personally am just excited that forced induction is making it's way to the LLT's(other than nitrous which has been here since early on) and maybe this fall if I'm back home I'll be lining up against Baylor and testing his build.

You could like up against me and my RX S/C also. Always fun to line up with friendly competition.

[hunterv6]

Reps that would explain some of things they type. Maybe they should do more research on there on product. Not knocking ipf but really guys this is becoming real stupid. Instead of helping v6 with facts of a product it turning to a all out war for what people ain't stupid they buy base on fact and needs. Cf 3 around the corner come and put a car on the track for a lot of us to see. I am sure there will be some rx's there too then the consumer can choose for themselves. In other word give the forum a break on the needless hater aid.

Lets leave it at just the 3 questions. Now show us you actually have a clue please.

1. In my opinion the the additional tensioner adds additional stress, it is my understanding the factory engines with SC's have beefier cranks.

2. What pictures? There is an oil evac system with the IPF system, call IPF and they can explain it to you.

3. I found dyno's for three IPF systems, and 1/4 mile time for one. Of course proof the system works is important, and all I did was say I haven't seen any numbers on the RX system, please show me where they are.

Don't understand what I am lying about? The OP asked for opinions and I gave mine. Sorry you get upset with my opinions. I never called you a liar like you did me, but I have been called worse on tis thread.

That car was the company's I was first customer with the kit. I would know because they made the instruction guide for the kit using my car.

I am 20yrs old not a UTI grad with years of experience in cars so ask me realistic questions, your questions can only be answered by IPF. I did not install or create the kit.

Make It Rain can speak for himself.

No offense but you guys are ganging up on me when I suggested to not bash each other or the companies.
I am on here to show everyone the kit and what I have experienced with it. Not here to get put into the ground.
I definitely don't know most facts on RX's kit because I have IPF. You guys might have RX but don't have IPF so leave your storytelling at home. Because when most of you talk about IPF, it's nonsense as well.

I will not post pictures of inside my hood because it seems unnecessary. Explain please. I have had the SC for over 3 months, no problem. The company has 2 other cars with the SC, 1 had it for a year and the other(LFX) 3 months too and those have no problem either. SC2150, I understand you are confused but talk to IPF as a company to another company.

Also. My question about fuel economy was unanswered.

Brandon.
