Supercharger is instant power that scales evenly and predictably throughout the powerband but the exhaust is friggin loud with a SC!!

This was a kit they created for my setup. I'm pretty sure they can replicate it and sell it. I went with higher quality and it wasn't cheap. I think most fuel system setups are custom now. PRL doesn't make their kit anymore.
what would you say if my end goal is 350whp max? It's my daily driver and I dont wanna have a super aggressive clutch. I'll be running the aftercooler kit on 92oct
Can’t go wrong with either as they both can hit those numbers. Imo, I’d go 1900 because it’ll spin less to achieve that power and you have the flexibility to go higher. 1320 you’re almost maxed

Yes, it should. As long as the motor is in good shape. I'm on the 1900 blower on stock motor and have experienced no issues. Only reason I upgraded my transmission because after 400whp, these gears tend to break.
