it should be running at 7 psi the kit consists of header (i have the which u must have i have the rpw, RIPP Black Box, RIPP "no weld" oil return fitting, RIPP 5th injection RC engineering 555cc Atomizer, Vortech V5-G-Trim, 255 Walboro fuel pump, All fuel fittings, Malpassi Fuel pressure regulator with oil filled gauge, All hardware for install, 4ply silicone Blue hoses, All clamps, Oil return/feed lines, SDS belt, Idle pulley and brackets, Air filter, Fully illustrated instruction, 1 year warranty

 

this is the only pic i have of it so far.... it doesnt really show anything except for how bit the sc is..... the car should be coming back really really soon and when it does im going to take a rediculous amout of pics so that i can post them up and show all of u....

 

wait, centrifugal supercharger?!?!?! i thought we were all doing roots type blowers now...

i will have to wait and see some dyno graphs before i pass judgement i guess

 

That would be a frickin big turbocharger !

 

Centrifugal units for the most part are more efficient than the roots/Eaton style units. Plus, a new intake manifold doesn't have to be fabricated to use it.

 

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

the proof is in the pudding, look at what is being sold right now. most of the stock and aftermarket superchargers i have seen have been roots type (not all, just an overwhelming majority). i have never read anything showing they were any less or more "efficient" (assuming you mean more power made with less power used?).

 

Lemme try and find the article (did a relatively good comparison of Vortech v. Jackson). As far as Eaton being more popular...I dunno about that. If they are more popular, I'd only say it's because V style engines like them more since creating a new manifold to fit between the cylinder banks is a better way to go about things.

This is not entirely true. Granted there are alot of roots style blowers out there but also there are alot of centrifugal s/c's out there also,...Vortech for example. The Vortechs are very popalar with mustangs. Here in Seattle we have the annual largest mustang gathering in the world. There is every make and model of mustang there. When you go around looking at the cars you will see most use the Vortech centrifugal s/c's more than the roots. This is only an example of how many people actually use them.

 

I posted that 11 days ago... What's going on?

 

there has been a fitment issue with one of the parts in the kit so it has gone back the machine shop to be redone 3 diff times and now it is hopefully correct and from what i understand from RIPP they should have the pieces back to them in the begining of the week then all they need to do is bolt everything back together and tune it.... so it shouldnt be lont now....(if i had a dollar for every time i said that)

O yeah and if anyone in the New York area wants to go cruisin soon please let me know cause i really am dieing to put some miles on my car when it comes back and ill prob be up for any pointless drive so pm me...
