i just legit showed you how it’s 1000
Cheaper spec out the same and still try to say it’s not.
That’s getting the same from each kit.
injectors bap everything

i'm not going to say that there's no way you can't get a cheaper kit from ess but by the time you add in everything you need and want it's not much savings. you can't even run a ess in some states so it's not even a option. ess has a nice kit not saying they don't. in the end i think they are all going to end up about the same

are you ok, you come on here saying can you really get ESS cheaper the answer is yes , then you say $1000 is pennies don’t know where the f your from but 1,000 is a lot of money to me.

not really but even if it was $1000 is pennies

if you don't get a hookup on parts or have a pile of parts to grab things from in general going forced induction is very much a get what you pay for kind of thing. i've tried it all kinds of different ways and in the end there's just no escaping it.

Cheap is relative to low budget, I consider the ESS system very well engineered. But as stated above, same like same comparison shows about $1000 lower cost to comparable systems. But, it still comes down to what you like or feel comfortable with. Good luck OP

It’s funny, I was literally just thinking the same thing a few days ago as I was looking at the Paxton sl2000 kit and compared it to Procharger and Ess. The Ess g3 flows 1600cfm which is more than the Paxton sl2200 as well. But I’m leaning towards the vortech v7jt, not sure yet though

I think the real winning aspect of the ess kit is the starting price. About 5.5k to make 600-800whp (depending on fuel, injectors, and fuel pump ofc, but 5.5k can make 650+).

Yes some of the guys on the forum run the v7jt. Like everyone says, it really comes down to preference. I just like where the blower mounts on the vortech/Paxton kits. Just like other guys like where the Ess and Procharger mount.

Just wondering what’s the cost of upgrading the ESS and the Paxton to 8rib? I know Vortech offers that option, idk how much it costs and idk if ESS offers it

Its around $1000, maybe a little less, to update the ESS kits to a 10rib drive setup.

The way internal gear ratio of the ESS blower is setup , people are running the 6rib 95-100mm pulley without slip issues making over 1000 rwhp.
