Default Paxton Supercharger

I have a friend who is selling a Paxton Supercharger for a 96 corvette. Will it interchange with my car. I'm not sure if the supercharger is an lt4 application, though. If I found out it won't work, I'll list the contact info here in the forum for you lt4'ers.

If it worked on the LT4 it will work on your car. Maybe even a bit better since your compression ratio is lower.

If it is a Paxton ball drive SN__ series I wouldn't buy it. I have many Mustangs friend that had those rebuilt regularly. Go with the Vortech and froged pistons w/ 9:1. You'll love the power :)

i have a Paxton SN92 on my truck, and it rules!!! i've had it for 2 years now, and it works great. the worst thing it has done too me is that it used to be almost silent, and now it makes a quiet blower whine. i use a mix of Trick Shift and synthetic trans fluid and it goes and goes....

I, too, have a friend who had big problems within 2,000 miles with a Paxton on a 5.0 Mustang. I'd go with an ATI Procharger before the Vortech either. You could go with either the ProCharger P600B at $4,996, or the new ProCharger P1SC model for $5,296. They told me I should look for a 40-45% increase in power on my LT4. The LT4 has higher compression, so they recommended going with only 6psi boost. The LT1 could safely go up to 8psi for a 60-65% gain.

I wouldn't complain if I had ~500 reliable horsepower and a 3 year warranty on it! Time to water the money tree.
