I said flow better. ATI's are more efficient (FLOW BETTER) than Vortech's. And as far as turbos I let you and FNFAST take care of that.

 

and super is correct...ATI procharger is a better set up than a vortec, it flows MUCH better, although I forgot the numbers off my head. The only thing nice about a vortec is they are self lubricating ( no tapping for an oil line) and the have a quiet operating system for "stealth" applications, not sure if ATI offers a "quiet" supercharger. I would personally take the ATI.

 

you have to tap into the oil pan for a vortech, ATI you dont, they are self contained.

 

a turbo does not leech power at all. a turbo also does not force compressed exhaust gasses into the engine that would be retarded and cause major problems. A turbo has a compressor that is spun by exhaust pressure, but it takes ambient air and compresses it, not exhaust. top fuel drag cars use blowers because they have ENORMOUS v8's. a turbo, if properly sized, would have too much piping, and they would need extremely efficient cooling...plus, turboes spool differently than a blower. if top fuel dragsters ran say a half mile, they probably would use turbos, but since they run the 1/4 so quickly, the blower builds boost at a more desirable area in the rpm's and can be used better for their needs. technically a turbo is more efficient...that is just fact. it uses energy that would be wasted other wise and a blower needs to rob energy from the motor to compress the air. a properly sized turbo on an ls1 (i think he said he has an ls1 with a procharger?) could be make amazing power numbers with very little lag. centrifugal blowers make linear power...the build boost directly related to the rpm' sof the engine. a turbo, if properly sized can reach peak boost around 2500 rpm's while still making more peak power than a blower. its really all opinion and what your needs are, but a turbo is TECHNICALLY more efficient.

 

thats what i am saying tho. it does flow better but it is opinion on which is actually a "better" setup.

he said, "prochargers are alot better than vortechs"

i was just saying that is his opinion and not necessarily fact. hey i could say the srt-4 is "better" than your car...but we all know its a matter of opinion....not trying to start an argument, just trying to keep it fair.

 

DAMN YOU 1fstSS!!!!! jk


You are correct. God...I need to stop posting at work so I slow down a bit haha.

 

I here you CD...a lot of it depends on your set up and what you run...there is a reason that not everybody runs a turbo and a reason that not everyone runs a supercharger...they all have there +'s and -'s.

But I would ingore my commetns for a while...I obviously forgot the difference between a procharger and a vortech hahahahahahaha I'm such a dumb ass hahaha
