Which Supercharger is Best for You? Centrifugal vs Twin Screw

[@dominiczanella8443]

I have decided on a centrifugal kit from procharger for my 19 GT for the very reasons stated. Streetable, controlled boost plus ease of installation. I like to road course and have predictable power application. I also don't want more than 700 WHP so it will be reliable also.

[@thebiggamekiller6031]

How did you make it spin?

[@msk3905]

Are twin screws not Street able, reliable and not have controlled boost? Might want to pass this information along to auto manufacturers since they use screw SCs rather than centrifugal.

[@bubberrand]

@@msk3905That’s what I was thinking.

[@sherylellingson3538]

@@msk3905 Same for me. I chose a twin screw because it's quieter, love the instant torque, and cannot stand the blow-off valve making that god awful "whooshing" noise, the centrifugal blower makes, when you don't have the throttle mashed.

[@chickenkatsu7863]

At 1:01, he said centrifugals were the only option for the Fox bodies. There was the Kenne Bell.

[@swmann2]

nah, it was a toaster

[@GolfCoyote]

Don’t forget about ESS superchargers. Absolutely killing the market right now

[@gp5.082]

What's ess?

[@GolfCoyote]

@@gp5.082 ESS tuning, centrifugal supercharger that is easier to install and lighter than its competitors. Also makes some serious steam while costing less money. I made 700whp on pump gas with an ESS G3

[@HarleyJetSled]

ESS sells direct, the dealers won’t push them.

[@GolfCoyote]

@@HarleyJetSled ya I’m aware. That’s how they keep their prices so low. Honestly the best deal for boost at this point

I have a g2 on my car shit rips

[@deathscythehell7937]

I have Whipple gen 5 positive displacement superchargers on my 20 gt350r and my 22 gt500 running E-85 w/ RPG built engines. Love the instant that torque. I'm in the process of changing my modded 67 gt500, (had it since I was 16, 56 now) from the 427 w/ a Paxton centrifugal supercharger to a RPG built 5.2 coyote w/ a Whipple gen 5. After that I'm going to do the same to my Backdraft Cobra, it already has a RPG built 5.2 coyote w/ a gen 3 Whipple. I track all my cars you have to change a few things and your driving style but you can make it work w/ your suspension parts. I've raced since I was 16yrs old, I've had a lot of power adders on my cars. From a 8-71, that old B&M and magna-charger, Kenne-Bell every generation of Whipple's and twin-turbos too. I love the feeling of a positive displacement supercharger hands down.

[@P71ScrewHead]

There's no replacement for positive displacement (superchargers..) i just made that up..lol No matter what car it's on, take off is hugely improved..

[@mcf3778]

i just did a p-1x procharger on an lt1 stingray and i wish the boost came on when traction was affordable..... the car is just a beast now and cant be controled

Can’t you just change the pulley?? How much power are u making now?

Since I literally use you guys for everything when I pull the trigger on the super charger I want I'll be using your expertise. Thanks for this well done explanation Scott.

[@Topofthelinetommy]

ESS Superchargers too! A centri supercharger for what Superchargers use to cost.

[@CoyoteAUS]

I love my Whippled 10R80 GT. Can’t beat that instant torque hit especially with good traction. Thrown a lot of Steeda and BMR suspension stuff at it but its my last mod the wavetrac diff that has made me fall in love with this car again due to vastly better traction and stability (still spin if you hit it hard in 2nd but doesn’t kick out anymore) than what I was getting before with the oem diff.

[@jimbrow83]

[@midnight347]

He's pretty much talking mustangs here it's pretty clear. Those are cool cars but were talking on mustangs. He said in the fox mustang days most people did centrifugal which is true and you didn't start seeing positive displacement blowers alot in the after market until the terminators which is also true.

[@fightingglobal726]

Ive seen some supercharged mustangs that are actually slower than stock because of the loss of traction

[@slowpoke96Z28]

The lysholm screw style is where its at.

[@zolibartalos]

how would a cvt connection between the crankshaft and the supercharged effect the performance and efficiency of a supercharger? and how would an axial compressor supercharger work similyrly to a Latham axial flow supercharger?

[@henryprice9493]

Sounds creative yet expensive. May explode too.

[@EricMims-wj9jk]

I’m building a Pro-Touring 1969 Super Bee, upgraded suspension and 6 speed manual so after hearing this I’m going with the Centrifugal Charger because I can conceal it better and it’s already got 750 HP NA

[@teeghost239]

Completely new to this trying to learn. So pro charger don’t have instant boost right?

[@kiaalua]

Not instant, but when you punch it, it’s there…to me centrifugal blowers are belt fed turbos…

[@AceNinja2112]

​@@teeghost239That is true. My ProCharger doesn't kick in until 4500 RPM! Then it pulls hard. But that's a long time to wait! Maybe I should have went with a PD SC!!! 😭😭😭

What about the hellion twin turbo vs Twin Screw for track?

[@P71ScrewHead]

Unless you take off with the turbos spooled at like 5k rpm, PD Blower is king.. Seen TTs lose many times to a pd blower n show up for the 1v1 once the race was over..

[@supremeflagship8965]

Why not use both (twin screw and centrifugal) + VGT turbocharger?

[@grantyentis5507]

Because other drivers need boost too! Don't bogart all the boost my friend!

Each one adds heat to the air. Defeating tbe purpose.

Ford Lightning used the roots blower before Mustang.

That's true, good point! -Chris

[@midnight347]

It wasn't until the terminator that the positive displacement market really took off which is what he was talking about.

[@midnight347]

The lightning and 89-95 tbird super coupe both had positive displacement blowers before the terminator but in this video he's talking mustangs and with mustangs you didn't see the aftermarket explode for positive displacement stuff till the 03 cobra.

[@daily6633]

What’s more reliable

[@Ilovegirlfights2]

The centrifugal doesn’t require a intercooler pump

[@km6832]

Both suffer from the same issue: bad owners

[@Ilovegirlfights2]

@@km6832 I can relate some people should do bolt-ons a torque converter and maybe some gears and call it a day. The centrifugal you can use air to air so no intercooler pump it. The pump is a failure point if the pump stops u don’t notice u could be in trouble

[@Christopher.dreamless]

@@km6832good point

[@scottross8854]

Went with Kenne Bell.

[@timphilmon8573]

So I'm guessing a ProCharger would be better for towing in terms of heat, but a twin screw would be better because of low - mid range power is better?

[@codeblue2712]

Scott what about using the force induction interchiller with the whipple stage 2 for the Mach 1, rather than the heat exchangers?

[@GavatronX9]

This helps out a lot thank you for explaining this

[@Aaron-fj1hl]

what about road racing - wouldn't the regular blower be better because of the instant power ? Also wouldn't this blower be better for the car given that it is not having to REV as hard to make boost ?

[@Adrian5oh]

Great video! I went with a Paxton for my 10 speed 5.0! 🔥

[@CopyMSaka]

I want to superchargecmy b8 s5 manual and I don't want to sacrifice the instant power that I feel when I press the pedal and I want the car to stay predictable... I know I can't go with a turbo for that but I don't know what supercharger to get😢

ESS is taking over

[@midnight347]

Ess is just for coyotes far as I know. We got other engines out there besides coyotes. Terminators and gt500s run positive displacement stuff 99.9% of the time and other platforms I don't think have ess. I mean they sell them cheaper because they sell direct and of course they make power just like on3 turbos make power despite being cheaper. It's a good option for coyotes if a centrifugal is what you want.

[@SaVarMatner]

Try ESS tuning. Basic kit last I checked is around 4K. After buying your BAP for the fuel pump and your spark plugs and custom tune you might spend around 6K total. I installed mines myself so that saved another 1K-2K. If you have an auto then you are good. I have a manual so I upgraded the clutch which was 1500 and had it installed which cost my another 1200. I also upgraded brakes and rotors. That was a 500 dollar upgrade. Better tires for traction as well which was 1300 bucks. I'm still running my stock OPGs because I have no limiter on the car and I never shift at 8K. I usually bang at 7300ish. So that save me about 2K. You can put the kit on without all the support mods and still have fun but if you do that you will want to build around the kit as soon as possible. All and all it cost me 10K. I'm still adding stuff as I speak. Car is on my channel. Hope you get that boost soon man. It's fun.

I know this will make me sound like a nitpicky hater, but for the love of God I wish automotive professionals with a ton of knowledge would stop calling an engine a motor. Motors are electric. Teslas have motors. Superchargers are engine parts. Engines run on air/fuel internal combustion. Motors use electrical charge running through a conductive coil to revolve a magnet attached to a driveshaft. Please get this right. Thanks, Your Dad High school Science Teacher
