True. I guess most people dont like the fuel system on the prochargers? Look what they do in the cars with them at the street car shoot out . There some fast ones out there

Yeah, ProCharger, Vortec and Whipple are all ok for rec. use but I have never seen one on a Sterling motor!

So much drama for one simple question!

Brian has a 500 EFI and you guys are talking about Sterlings and slamming each system.

I am no expert but have seen some nice reliable gains from each system. The vortech is a good turnkey system. I personally think it looks like a better match for the EFI.

The thing I like about the procharger is the nice big intercooler (on the M-3). If you have a 502mag, some room for a big intercooler and a knowledgeable installer you will do just fine. I can't help but think that the huge intercooler has some good advantages.

I think that the premis for the question was not to start a slamming session but to solicite some feedback of a number of users of both systems.

It has gotten a little off topic here but so far BADKACHINA and myself are the only ones to provide any real info to Brian. I forgot to mention that I had my heads upgraded by Mark @ Precision Marine two years ago with a five angle vavle job, Icolnel valves, roller rockers and ARP head bolts. Last month I installed a slightly more agressive roller cam & lifters and a smaller pulley on the M3 which has prduced 7lbs boost and 89 (best) on gps spinning a stock 34p Bravo @5300 rpm's. I got 88.2 gps with a stock Hydro Q-IV 31p on the limiter @ 5450 rpm's so I should break 90 by going to a 32p.

just a hundred

How much roughly to Whipple a 525 at around 700hp?

Man that is moving pretty good. What are you running as a drive?

What kind of gain did you get from the head work?

INDY27

Its a Bravo with a rh prop, I saw no gain in top speed from the headwork but the roller cam and pulley swap got me 4 mph. Before my best speed was 85.9 with a labbed Bravo 32 @5200 rpm, 5 lbs boost.

Ive been running a procharger m-3 on a 540 ci bbc fuel injected ,6lbs of boost ,ASM ecu, for over 2 years without any problems, as said before , i think it all comes down to proper installation.

This is the first Quad Rotor Mike at Sterling did and they claim it made over 1500hp just like there non recreational super chargers .


Indy27 your getting some good speed .Sorry for getting Off topic.I wander sometimes

I have been watching this thread with great attention, Thank you all for the info and drama to go along with it... lol I love drama... good reading indeed . I have decided to go with a Vortech system ...found a good deal on one that is pretty much local and a good guy I have done biz with in the past. It is a sytsem that only has dyno time on it and I am comforatble with that. I will have to get some other parts for it to complete the system but I think I will come out way ahead on the deal , It even has an extra computer wiith it so I am going to have two computers, good thing or bad thing I do not know. The system is polished should look nice. I can only hope that it performs as well as everyone says it does. I am going to have him install it I believe and get it dialed in to his spec...he owns a hot rod boat shop in the SE. I have seen some of his other projects and they hual A$$. So I thank you all for the help and opinions on the subject. I never thought I would get this much responce about a system of this kind, thanks again.

I am currently running a consistant 70 MPH...GPS
