Not with Whipple's Flight Control that is standard on S550 complete kitsAny blower with almost instant boost is going to be a serious tire fryer. With 3.73s, it is going to grenade those tires. The centrifugals are building boost with rpm, a little easier to manage. Do you want the tire frying, sideways torque or something easier to manage is what I like to compare with these two setups.

:ford:with being able to pulley down 1 size on the 15s, i don't see as big of a need for the wastegate....I dunno it it's ironic, funny, or what - all in a good way - but we have some Centri's like Beefcake's offerings (and probably others) using a wastegate to make a Centri act more like a PD (and I'd add the Procharger i1 which is not yet available for S550) and now, with Whipple's flight control able to configure a Whipple PD to act more like a Centri.
Never been a better time to be in the FI market - or perhaps more confusing.

Hope the next few weeks go quick, I have been waiting for the wastegate since I installed the Paxton.with being able to pulley down 1 size on the 15s, i don't see as big of a need for the wastegate....
however......doesn't mean we won't have them ready in a couple weeks, lol

Wow, just read about the Procharger I1. Best of both worlds.I dunno it it's ironic, funny, or what - all in a good way - but we have some Centri's like Beefcake's offerings (and probably others) using a wastegate to make a Centri act more like a PD (and I'd add the Procharger i1 which is not yet available for S550) and now, with Whipple's flight control able to configure a Whipple PD to act more like a Centri.

it's a nice piece, but a little on the pricier side. we just did on a few weeks back at the shop. for the guy that wants to be around 600 wheel right now work good. with the 15s having better internals, and and pulleying down,Wow, just read about the Procharger I1. Best of both worlds.
@ Terry;
Is this going to be available for Mustang? Can you provide more info about time frame and tune for this car?
p.s. As I read more and watched videos, this S/C doesn't seem to have become very popular in the market. Is this correct impression?
both kits are nice, i have some good posts on the pros and cons of each. for the $$ the paxton is the best bang for the buck though, but all 3 are very niceaccording to beefcakes website its available

[MENTION=10926]beefcake[/MENTION] any preference of paxton/votech vs procharger? or anyone else with some input?
That is my initial impression, but Procharger never officially offered it for the S550, to even gauge the market.it's a nice piece, but a little on the pricier side.
