Currnetly I believe that they're using Vortechs. Their old kits used the Paxton ball drives, and it just depends on how old the kit is as to which model.

Do you know if all paxtons have the same bolt pattern on the housings themselves? Carroll sells a bracket for paxton superchargers for the L-98 but doesn't say which models would fit. I'm wondering if a paxton SN-92 would bolt on to these brackets Carroll sells??? :confused:

The old Paxton's are not worth using. They are prone to breaking and never make the boost expected. Get a new ATI kit for a stock car.

I think the paxton models are interchangable, they use a large C chape spacers to mount to the bracket. My carroll kit has a SN92, but I know somekit use SN89 and their new kit kit can be used with sn2000. The catalog doesn't seem to differentiate between the models.
