procharger has been around a while. most domestic guys use it. haven't seen too many honda guys with them. most honda guys who go with a centrifugal blower go with the vortec. price is steep IMO.

do the research at procharger.com this is hands down the best kit on the market for a b series honda. it looks like it makes around 300 hp on 7-8 psi , that is crazy . the blower is self oiling . you actually change the oil on the blower like you do on your car but it only holds like a cup of oil . and its intercooled what more could you ask for in a supercharger . If I could afford it I would buy it rite now .

It's an expensive poorly designed turbo. Just buy a turbo, those Vortech's only make power way up top. If you want instant power buy a Jackson kit. I just sold an Endyn modded jrsc kit for $1,500, you can find good deals on them everywhere.

Procharger is a great company and is ahead of the aftermarket field in supercharger technology, if you like the supercharger mantality, then go procharger, otherwise I would recommend a turbo.

i agree with this guy, the more rpms u get out of a centrifugal blower, the more boost it makes and im 98% sure its not insantanious off idle boost like a roots blower.

which to me is the whole point of having a blower over a turbocharger anyways!

its ur call!
