Merc 500's.....
 
Of all the different things to do to an engine to get more hp, what is the single best way to go? I only want to do one thing right now so what should it be for overall gains? Supercharger, Blower, Headers, etc. ???

Supercharger ! Best bang for the buck.

Boost Is Beeest!!!!! Replacement For Displacement!
:D

What are some of the pros and cons of chargers vs. blowers?

What is the average difference in hp gains between the two?

MacGyver 09-28-2007 01:24 PM

Supercharger and blower are the same thing. Maybe you're asking the difference between a centrifugal type supercharger and a Roots type supercharger.

So a Whipple charger is the same as a B&M blower?

Just a different name?

Well damn it's true what they say...You learn something new everyday. :D

Thanks Mac

I wouldn't say they are the same thing. Same principle just a little different ways of going about it.

CAPTAIN CHUCK 09-28-2007 02:50 PM

Ok....Can you explain?
