Which Supercharger is Best for You? Centrifugal vs Twin Screw

Superchargers are a great and relatively straightforward way to give your vehicle tons of power. They don't require a bunch of fabrication or tuning, and are the number one way to get reliable power numbers without worrying too much about reliability. In this video, Scott talks about the differences between centrifugal superchargers and roots, positive displacement, or twin screw superchargers. The latter has many names, but all function virtually the same. Learn which is best for your vehicle and application and why that is.

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.

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

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.

I got Roush Supercharger in my 2020 Mustang GT with Longtube headers. I love it!

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

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.

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.

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

Thunderbird sc! Did have a 3.8 supercharger, which was pretty quick in its days

[dmndbiggestfan]

I’ll be buying an Ess supercharger next year can’t wait

[ameermckinney]

Finally an informative video on this. Thanks bud

[Christopher.dreamless]

Thanks. Needed this. I’m still learning the ins & outs. Just bought a Mach 1

[Suxbeu]

...except in 89 you had the Thunderbird SC...almost 15 years before the Termi.

[fightingglobal]

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

[GolfCoyote]

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

[gsdfan]

Thanks for the info. I plan on procharching my 2016 gt350 this summer.

Harrop out of Australia has coyote kits and is working on SBF 8.2, 9.2, and 9.5 deck height kits.

[Rob...]

Vmp gen3 I love it. Instant tq and crazy fun on e85 with a stick

[Coyotesmilespergallon]

ESS IS THE BEST DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR RIGHT NOW! And a KB 3.6 Rotory sounds like a. Airplane too sweet!

[Mathewmartialart]

damn, i was really looking for the vortech supercharger, as i thought it sorted out the lag and gave the instant supercharger reaction/torque.
