Which supercharger is best?

Centrifugal superchargers are prized for their efficiency, which translates into less heat and lower parasitic drag on the engine. Heat transfer to the motor itself is also greatly reduced, given that the supercharger isn't in direct contact with the engine itself.

Whats the best type of supercharger?

Here a centrifugal supercharger is the winner, operating with superior efficiency over a positive displacement supercharger – particularly at higher boost levels. This means that for the same boost pressure the intake air will be cooler with a centrifugal supercharger and we can expect more power.

Do superchargers need intercoolers?

A supercharger intercooler should always be used. Once the air has been compressed by the supercharger, it becomes extremely hot. Hot air does not hold as much oxygen as cool air, and fuel efficiency will suffer.

How do you know what size supercharger to buy?

In terms of sizing, it all comes down to the volume of air that the supercharger can cram into the cylinders of the engine each time the supercharger spins around. The ratings for superchargers are therefore given in L/rev (litres per revolution) or cc/rev (cubic inches per revolution).

At what RPM does a supercharger kick in?

The supercharger begins increasing intake air pressure just above idle. Between 2,500 and 3,500 r.p.m. both blowers work cooperatively to boost the intake air to a regulated 22 pounds per square inch above atmospheric pressure.

Is a centrifugal supercharger better than a turbo?

There are quite a few advantages to centrifugal blowers, however. Boost is always there and it's more of a linear curve than turbochargers, which are more of an "all or nothing" type of device that can go from almost no boost to full boost in as little as a 1,000-rpm window.

Does a supercharger require a tune?

It is designed to do this. The vehicle's computer does not require another “tune” when bolting on anything as simple as a cat-back exhaust system! Since many performance bolt-ons amount to very little, if any gains at all (we're using test results here), your MAF meter will easily handle it.
