my SN2000 paxton supercharger on my 92gt?
it's not a hard core boost maker with only about 6-7lbs currently, more like 6.
is it worth it to throw down the cash to pick one up or will i only get minimal gains?
thanks in advance! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Still a good buy. It will flow more air, plus youll be pulling in cold air from the fenderwell.

I may be wrong. If so, I'm sure someone will be happy to point it out. But I don't think you will see an increase in boost, but you should get an incraese in flow and power. The PP will reduce inlet restriction so the same flow will actually require less boost. Less boost (while maintaining flow rate) means less heat and resistance from the blower meaning more power.
In short the PP will improve efficiency which is always a good thing!

yeah, someone told me that as well. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
anyways, i've contacted bill at apex and he contacted Anderson Ford and noone there even knows if the PP will fit on the paxton sn2000 supercharger. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
