Does a supercharger hurt your engine?

A supercharger puts a huge amount of stress on an engine through kinetic energy and heat production, therefore many engine components have to be over-engineered to cope with the additional strains put upon them. In most cases, this then leads to added weight and diminishing returns in terms of performance.

Is a ProCharger better than a supercharger?

The procharger does not burn through fuel like superchargers do, and keep gas costs to a gentle rise. Prochargers also do not take power beyond legal limits as superchargers can do, so if you live in a state where extra horsepower is frowned at or even fined, a procharger may be a better option for you.

Does a supercharger hurt fuel economy?

While the turbo's primary drawback is boost lag, the supercharger's is efficiency. Because a supercharger uses the engine's own power to spin itself, it siphons power—more and more of it as engine revs climb. Supercharged engines tend to be less fuel efficient for this reason.

Can a stock engine handle a supercharger?

When building an engine for supercharging (other than for racing), it is generally built for low to mid-range torque and power. This is similar to a stock engine. And because a stock engine can be used with a supercharger, it would be just as easy to operate or maintain. This makes it less exotic and more practical.

Which is better procharger or Whipple?

Both Procharger and Whipple offer a comparable overall power output at minimal boost settings. But, at more significant boost pressures, the Whipple produces more power owing to its bigger (71.5mm) impeller diameter – roughly 10% larger over (65mm) the procharger (65mm).
