Same car. Went with a procharger because I wanted something that was easier to maintain and more of a turn key setup. At the time I was working at a performance &tuning shop, but I knew I wouldn’t be staying there. I hated working there. Anyway I wanted something that would be better suited for me after I left that shop, so w went with the procharger and have zero regrets about it. I still love the way the procharger performs on that car and cannot wait to get it back on the road!Wha year is the car ?
I saw you were doing a TT build on 2019 GT few years ago ?
you switched to a pro charger or different car?
I think on lower HP and pressure set ups (I am guessing 700 whp and 10 psi or less) the breakage is probably minimal. If the failure rate is 3 in 7,000, I am ok with not running the crank support, but I don't fault anyone for doing so.We have sold more blowers than anyone over the last 10 years on these cars, I'd venture to guess 6-8000 kits, and the number of cranks that have actually failed that customers have messaged me on is probably 3.
That's all brands. I get its the hot new item, and people like peace of mind. And of course we'll sell them if people want them. But I think the hype is a little overblown
All of that aside, there may be another consideration. Back in the early days of centrifugal superchargers (early 90's), we were experiencing significant front main bearing wear in the direction of load from the blower in a short amount of time. This may not be such an issue on the modern 5.0, but it certainly was back then.This is a previous post by Terry "Beefcake" Reeves on Mustang6G:
