If you wanted a goal of around 650whp with a conservative tune, would it make more sense to do a stage 2?
If thats all you will ever want to make, the HO system is fine for you.

If you want an over kill intercooler you can use the Stage 2 unit.
And if you want an over killer system, you can do the full Stage 2 system

No matter what you pick it will be fine for what your doing.
However as stated the HO system will be more then enough. :)

Thanks!

you can always start low and work your way up
I'm only looking to make 600-ish rwhp to start but I like the idea of the separate drive system and the larger intercooler. I don't want to order the Stage 2 and start at 700rwhp. So ideally I'd want the upgraded impeller and intercooler of the Stage 2 but with a low enough boost that I'm still safe on the stock block until I start upgrading internals down the road.

it's self contained, recommended every 6000 miles

we usually do every 5k with the oil change, makes it easy
newbie to these super chargers but what exactly are you changing maintenance wise on these superchargers every 5k?

The lubricating oil. Some SCs use the cars oiling system. The ProCharger is self contained and is changed/maintained independently from my understanding.

It takes about 3 minutes to change the fluid.

How is the Oil changed?
Do you need special tools and/or equipment?
Is it neccesary to remove the head unit in order to drain and fill the oil?
Is it easy enough as to be done by the customer regularly?

I really like this HO kit. Until now I was leaning towards the Roush, but man, this kit really caught my attention. I have local shops here which I know can definitely do an awesome job. Apart from the fluid change questions, will the clutch and tranny be good at about 600 RWHP with a conservative tune? This is for the PP car, so manual is the trans in question.

Answers lead to more questions.

My understanding is that the stage 2 kit has a dedicated drive belt system while the HO system utilizes the existing drive system with a longer belt for the Blower. Is this correct?
The other item the stage 2 system includes is a larger inter cooler. Other than installation hardware is there any other difference in the two systems?

How much total weight does the stage 2 system add to the vehicle?
How does that compare to the added weight of the Whipple system?

How much boost does the default pulley and tune provide?

The installation instructions indicate that several additional gauges are necessary.
Can any of the virtual gauges accessible thru the display be utilized or does the install need dedicated and newly installed gauges?
If new dedicated gauges are necessary, any recommendation on specifics to install so everything looks clean and factory (style, location, etc.) without looking like an afterthought?

Several posts mention better mileage from the ProCharger and tune. Is this completely due to the tune or does the ProCharger increase mileage at low RPM?
I would expect the additional drag from the hardware to hurt mileage, so the claim seems counter intuitive unless the tune accounts for the difference.

A lot of your questions are answered in the very first post of this thread.

As to the others, well - beats me. :)

I really want to replace my 'vacuum' gauge in my GT PP to a vacuum/boost gauge that is the same one on the Ecoboost. Does anybody have a link to a p/n, price, and instructions to add the Ecoboost gauge to the GT PP instead of the vacuum gauge?

+1 this the same thought I have, and I'm new to superchargers.

I also have to run 92 Oct so wondering if stage 2 will better help

Have you used any of these cam-locks on any other system? The only other dedicated drive system I've used, the adapter pulley bolted directly to the harmonic damper. The cam-locks worry me more than a little bit for longevity.

My understanding is that you'd also need the MAP sensor as well for the gauge to read boost. Not just a straight swap of the gauges.
