chrisvance811 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 do you know is the hp and tq gains the same or does the procharger have more to offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex.t Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) pretty much depending on which style you go with and how much boost your running, the most common one would be a magnacharger/radix, dont get me wrong the procharger is as good but more have gone the other route.

alex.t Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 it all depends how good of shape the used kit is in, also you will have to upgrade some tranny parts to. shift kit,servos that kind of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbox210 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 This outta help.... http://www.SilveradoSS.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13056 Just an idea.....Chevy dealerships are normally certified dealers for Porcharger Superchargers..... Speaking for myself, if i'm investing 5-6 grand in something, I want it installed by a professional/qualified mechanic, and I want it under warranty. I know dealerships or "stealerships" are expensive but why not pay to have them do the proper install etc and covered under warranty, that way when something does go wrong or you have questions etc up you can take it right back and let them deal with it. Afterall, these guys work on these kinda chevy vehicles daily, they know what they are talking about..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterall, these guys work on these kinda chevy vehicles daily, they know what they are talking about..... Just to update that a bit. There are very few if any Chevy dealerships that are procharger "dealers" Infact if you contact procharger they can tell you of just a very few in the country that are. Truth be told to your comment. 99% of GM tech's only know the GM platform when you add a bolt on power adder to them they are going to go back to their GM knowledge. The place you will find real good tech's and people who know about a procharger or any aftermarket platform is from someone who actually focuses on that product. As far as Warranty goes. NO gm dealers cover aftermarket modifications though the GM warranty. I don't care what any sales person tells you. There is fine print in the contract. There is a Dealer in Las Vegas now that sells procharger that is claiming he covers them. GM does not. The Dealer assumes 100% liability on the item. That means if you break it and you have it in writing the dealer you had install it should fix it. If you break down 3 states from home the dealer that you tow it to may tell you that your crazy. If you plan on going to a dealer to get an install then be certain you get your warranty in writing 100% guarantee. If you have any questions regarding that you can feel free to ask and or Email GM they will reply back with a response to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 i have a procharger and love it, i got my kit used about a year ago and have not had any problems. just make sure you buy from a reputable seller cause to get one rebuilt is over 1k from what i hear . you'll see them for sell on performancetrucks.net every now and then and keep your eyes open here.

tx tahoe z71 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I got my Radix used and it hasn't missed a beat, took a friend and I an afternoon to put it on. I paid about a third of what it costs brand new. Check the forums, they pop up used all the time. If you want it for a DD, hard to beat a Radix, but for the track, a Procharger and a converter are going to be hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Picking a supercharger is alot like picking a camshaft. What are your abilities to work on your own vehicle? What all do you use your truck for? What are your performance goals with the truck? What are your current mods? What other than the blower are you considering for mods?
