So I gave up on turbo. Dont get me wrong I deal with alot of turbo cars some my own. But I wanna see what superchargers got out there. N so far its between vortech n hks. I have a strut bar so manifolt mounted is off my list. Some one steer me in the right direction. Daily beast and some autox.

Vortech.

im kinda thinking the same thing as the op, ive been flopping from turbo to super and cant decide, but right now i realy like the low end power the inovate kit is putting out. i cant wait to see their intercooled version with maybe a smaller pulley.

Vortech, it works and is the most mature/tested and tuned FI zetup for the car. Once you get passed the install and know some of the sticky points its solid.

Having a strut bar sounds like a great reason to exclude the Innovate Supercharger from your list.

Efferalgan · 08-15-2013, 11:07 AM

Actually Innovate still works well with some strut bars. Like:

search the thread for the issues SC are having for this car before you go SC.
I still think Turbos are more reliable, but don't take my word for it.
SC are causing belt problems.

Look at the innovate pics again. They give you a new specially designed intake manifold.
