the pro charger guys, is more like a turbo that is centrifugal, it makes power in the top end because it it spools up the hard you turn the through outs like a clutch, ,a Whipple, for example, makes all its power in the bottom end because its direct drive and the speed is controlled by pully sizes, there a few trade-offs there but mostly space. a Whipple is a hood cowl no way around it. pro chargers are low-profile goodness, but they are gutless off the jump. compound them and then you get a tone of fun if you can get it out of the driveway. factors f'n factors. efi, mechanical fuel injectors, and throttle bodies., and a shit ton of tinkering

the safe way to go about it is to yank the factory-cast cranks and replace them with forged ones. no matter the make if torque is you game longer throughs on the crank and each make has a different tolerance for that it requires a stouter longer con rod and job specific sleaves.meaning what they are made of, and the proper clearance .crucial to engine life. all power adders have a mileage rating depending on the application, know them, i commend the author of the video for encouraging you to get involved with go fast there is not enough of us in the hobby to sustain it, and for that, I love him, there is a lot of $$ involved and people give up on it quick if shit goes wrong, bobby and his Friday night hot rod is all but dead for many factors the biggest gov. over reach, but I for one will never surrender. you don't need a paperweight in the driveway with a tow sticker in the window, everything worthwhile deserves careful consideration if you're a poor boi better have a side hustle and a brain between your ears. have said the have the hell at it., , , an after though you gotta gap the piston rings for boots and if I'm not mistaken it has to have a boots target

I prefer the blower for the simplicity, consistency and ease of installation. The turbo might make a little more power, but when both set ups are capable of splitting the stock block down the middle...does it really matter?

I'm old school. Centrifugal everytime! Plus you get the exhaust note as well. Also I love the typical centrifugal whistle. The main difference between both car are cubes! The green one has much higher torque capacity, plain and simple.

BREW2L: I think you’re the number 1 authority on the Foxbody game. Always doing real world work into these cars plus, a history from back in the day. This channel has come a long way! A definite inspiration to getting started, step by step bites towards getting a car done. (Although they’re never done haha)! Thanks for the content!

Loving the retro sound with that whistle! You need to race these 2 against each other. Would make for a great video!!!!

[FiveBoroNative]

This is hands down one of the most intelligent videos I have ever seen on the topic. Nice work.

Calypso car looks killer with those SC wheels! The difference for me is I’m still stuck in the 90’s so if both cars were together with the hoods up I’d be more compelled to take a closer look at the retro Vortech/Hartman combo.

Man... I am happy as hell to see someone worthy got the life I ordered. Love the collection. I have had "Stitch" my 89 LX Hatchback 5.0 for 23 years now, and seeing these fox's has my ass back out working on her. Thank you

Calypso looks killer with the 18” .
Almost as good as it did with the SVE gold mesh 😁

[EVOLHORSE]

This channel is becoming my favorite channel and that calypso had me hypnotized

[corbinllewellyn]

Do you have to get a bigger LPH fuel pump for the supercharger? And how do you intercool it? Im looking at getting a e cam aluminum heads with a procharger on around 6-8 lbs of boost but i need to learn more before i go throw money away

[bradvaughan]

What a great explanation of the two cars. Those wheels look amazing on the green car and I bet they will look great on the retro as well.

Love the look of the SC wheels on the Calypso! Just sounds like you need some better tires out back. I would roast mine all the way through the top end of 3rd gear then switched to Toyo R888R’s and hook in 3rd pretty well - seconds still a battle, but my combo of twin turbo Dart 347 on 9 psi and 3.73 gears builds tons of torque.

Love the look of the Calypso with those wheels on it! I almost prefer those over the ‘93 Cobra wheels.

[Ttop_Thomas]

@16:57 I couldn't tell if that was a kiddo screaming or the turbo 😂. Both sound great my man!

[turbocoupe]

Should’ve went over the price difference between the 2. Which I already know the answer. I’ve had both and I can tell you from experience I’d go the turbo route. No belts and pulleys to deal with

Brew2L showin the luv for the GT's in a world of coupes these days. I think its great brother as I luv coupes but lately that's all everyone is building and I've always been a GT/Hatch guy at heart anyways. Keep it up man. The Calypso has come such a long way and has turned into a nasty lil monster. My ride is slowly getting to the point where I have to make a powertrain choice so its nice to see both sides of the fence. Thumbs up bro as always. Keep the good content comin.

Calypso looks perfect with those wheels & retro fox sounds so nasty… both fox’s are amazing!

[fastponies]

I think as foxbody owners, we all can relate to that grin that was underneath your face of concentration of what the car is doing while you were doing those test runs. Can't help but be happy with our toys when they work like they're supposed to!!

[SILVERCHARGEDS]

I said the Calypso a month or so ago when you asked which one we thought was faster. I have a supercharged mustang and a turbo mustang and turbos are hard to beat. It pained me to say that because I've always been a supercharger fan. I love both those cars of yours but that Calypso is killer!
