True, thankfully there should be a CAI with it here soon.

It's been a while and I am not sure where I read it but I recall some significant gains to be had with an improved intake setup and some enlarging of the throttle body area.

I believe there is a pulley size limitation as well which means you are going to be stuck at a certain level of boost.

This is where the Roush and Whipple designs shine.

Lol having owned Paxton, Procharger, And most other blowers. Procharger > everything else out there. Every Paxton kit I've had has been 100% junk.

Of course this isn't in reference to the Coyote setups. Just Procharger vs Paxton, isn't even a fair comparison IMO.

I will agree that the Prochargers work very well on the Vettes with anything a d1 and up. The P1sc just isnt great.

On mustangs its a different thing all together. There is a reason why there is so many more fast 5.0s running the Paxton and JT Vortech kits so its hard to argue that. In order to run the same ETs as the Paxton/vortech group the Procharger guys have to move up to a F head unit which some (not all) find it too obnoxious to run on a street car.

Search any of the major boards and you will find what i am saying is true. There are some fast procharger cars out there but its not the norm and almost everyone ofbthem had a bitch of a time to get the car running right.
