Nice looking supercharger kit , Dale- I noted, it cost a bit of $7000 (and sold by Mazdatrix which generally sale only proven stuff) vs $99.00 for the Thorton model and both produce approx the same amount of power, Hummmmm. I suspect one of the two does not deliver all it promises - I wonder which one {:>)

FWIW dept.:
It seems like multiple companies are making belt-driver centrifugal superchargers on basically the same model.
From what I've read so far, Paxton and Vortec have merged, even though they seem to have completely separate sites.
Or maybe Paxton was spun off again after the merge? The products look almost identical except for the name on the scroll casting (same 1 - 4.7 gearing.) Then there is Procharger; again a Vortec Clone, it appears.
Take a look at this setup, specifically for a 13B: [ http://www.mazdatrix.com/8forcedinduction.htm ]
Hmmm.

Ok, who is going to be the first to order one and let us know?
David Leonard, suggested either go for full time power (like in a real turbocharger) or forget it and don't muck around with this part time power enhancement. Has a good point. Yes, I get in and out of short fields just fine with my N/A 13B - but, I just really like getting all that space between my butt and those tree tops as I can {:>). But, I fairly certain that I will save my shekels for an N/A Renesis engine rather than turbo my old 13B. I mean with 20 more HP from the N/A Renesis - it will almost be enough {:>)
