Question SUPERCHARGER which one

i have been looking for a supercharger that i can also use for everyday normal use. lets hear what the experts say==ATI PROCHARGER(CENTRIFIGAL STYLE)==EATON BASED MAGNACHARGER(ROOTS STYLE)or the new HOLLY THUNDER SUPERCHARGER(??? STYLE).
i guess the Holly is so new it doesn't have much of a track record, but they make their product sound like god made it;

Hi JD, I bought a Kenny Bell charger. I haven't received it yet but I'll post it as soon as I install it. I was looking at the Vortec charger but I didn't want to drill my oil pan and I wanted the power in the lower RPM range. Hope this helps. EVO

Predator1,


About 2 months ago I installed a Holley supercharger in a friend of mines 99 F-150 ext-cab. With a 5.4. Well I will say the performance is exceptional. I myself tried to talk him into the magna charger, due to its proven reliability. Well, if it does hold up, I am glad he got the Holley.
He raced a 2000 F-150 with a Magna charger in it and left him in the dust. At no point in the race did the 2000 gain any distance on him. Both were novice drivers as well. In the 1/4 he was 1 truck length ahead of him and just kept pulling away. My buddy is now wanting me to put headers on his truck next.
As I said before, I don't know what the life will be on the holley due to them being so new. But as with anything else it will depend on driving habits as well. I for one am sold on the Holleys' charger and am thinking of getting one next year if I see no problems arise.
Just food for thought in your quest for power. I would sugest talking to Neal,and crash who seem to be more abreast in the super charging areas. Take care
