For L98's the major Supercharger Kits are
Carroll (who uses paxton and vortech S/C)
ATI Procharger Kits
Paxton used to make their own kit but it was discontinued.

Re: L98 Supercharger Kit (dgoodhue)
toddalin & dgoodhue - Thanks for your input. I visited the websites for Procharger and Carroll. The Procharger unit appears to be about $1600 less than the Carroll. Is the Carroll really that much better. Anyone have experience with either unit? Thanks again.

Re: L98 Supercharger Kit (tacblu)
George - I'd appreciate it if you could get me some info from your fellow club member. I think that with my low mileage engine, and with running a low boost level, I should be able to leave everything else pretty much stock. I don't want to get radical............I'd like just a little more power. And the looks of a supercharger are great too. Bob

black bart - Thanks for the info. If I went with minimal boost (say 6#'s), other than maybe a chip, can I leave most everything else stock? I do have a non-stock exhaust on the car now.

Even with the lower boost you can fry some horse meat if you know what I mean. :D

Carroll told me that will custom burn their chip to any mods you may have or desire. And the Carrol kit uses gaseous intercooling to avoid the need for an intercooler and its pressure drop. Also the Carroll kits include such things as the kit to relocate the hood prop, an oil cooler for the S/C, new A-arm panel to clear the S/C unit, fender well modification piece, etc... a really complete kit. Not saying one is better than the other... just some observations.

Re: L98 Supercharger Kit (toddalin)
If carroll makes you a chip it will retard the timing not advance it like other chips do. When he mentioned a chip I think he was talking about chips sold to boost performance on NA engines. I'm aware of gaseous intercooling I use it on my car but that is just a fancy name for water injection. But you raise a good point when comparing prices 0ne has a intercooler and the other has a 12 volt pump that sprays water. As far as hood prop with the p600 you just turn the bracket around and it works fine unless you go to the D1R I had to remove the prop converted to what the late C4 uses. You didn't mention that the carrol system uses the vortech blower impeller is cast the ATI is billet more than three times stronger. It makes no difference to me what he buys but if you talk to the people on this forum that have owned both brands and have considerable experence with blowers you will find that the carroll is considered outdated. I can give you names of several on this forum that have had both today they all have the procharger.
