Oh the choices!!!

Now that an aftermarket is starting to shapen up for our cars, I was wondering what everyone is running/plans to run when it comes to Poweradders?

1. Stock Eaton - Great bang for the buck, lots of options, but runs out of steam at 14psi, and has a very limited CFM flow.

2. Ported Eaton - Cheap upgrade that really helps uncork the topend for the Eatons. 130 trap very possible without touching the motor. Still runs out of steam around 15psi though.

3. 2.2L Kenne Bell - The only true proven aftermarket blower out there. Has created amazing numbers on the dyno, but seems to need alot of suspension work to run good times at the track. Doesnt run out of steam until 21+psi. Amazingly flat TQ curve. And that damn oil spray :bash:

4. Procharger P1-SC2 - Got to love that top end of a Centri. Too bad its a 6 rib, needs 20psi to make 660rwhp, and is dead until 4500rpms. If you cant tell, Im not a fan :2g:

5. Whipple - Damn fine looking unit, very promising. Has produced good numbers so far, and has little pluses to it (no oil spray, extra Idler not needed) Lets see what happens when the public gets it, and lets see some track times before we hail it as the almighty.....like many tools on SVTP have

The FUTURE.........

6. 2.4L Kenne Bell - You will all see one sooner than you think. :biggthump

7. Procharger F1 - If they dont change to a 8 rib it will never be a competitor.

8. Works - Dont hold your breath, Its not happening





So whats everybodys opinions on the matter? Any different perspectives that I missed???

Well my plans are to stick with a roots blower.. My car is a daily driver and not a track queen, that coupled with the fact that I love instant low end torque seals the fate of the Procharger...

which leaves me with the Ported Eaton or Whipple (I've already dropped the KB from contention due to price and oil spray)

Now the only decision is whether to dump the money for the Whipple or not. Comon sense tells me no, what do you need more than 500rwhp? but the little devil keeps chanting "power power power"

I'm really leaning towards the ported Eaton, unless I find a money tree growing in my back yard come springtime...

Now my question is why does Apten get all the glory for the Ported Eaton? I've heard REM does a fine job, with similar if not the same HP numbers and yet costs $200 less??

what am I missing there??

Apten was the first to do heavy advertising for their porting work, and the first to generate dyno results. Thats why they get all the glory.

Hell, Xtreme Motorsports has been porting Eatons for a year and a half. But you never hear about it. Why? They dont advertise it.

I'm going to do more suspension work. Sold the KB and waiting for the whipple :biggthump

Are there any dyno numbers to show the improvements with the REM and Extreme ported blowers?

I want to see what Lyle's car is like when he gets his 2.8" pulley and Aptenized Eaton. 500 hp may be plenty for me. I plan on keeping my car for many years so engine longevity is important to me. A mod or two a year and I am happy.
