    Smile Cheapest, Smallest Supercharger for 5.0L

    Anyone know what it is? Looking to run a cheap, small supercharger on my EFI 5 and only want to run about 7 PSI as I dont want to change the internals or need a massive intercooler at this stage. Should I Whipple, Raptor, Eaton or Capa? What's everyone's opinion?

    Raptor are the go.


    Unfortunately for raptor, they don't currently make a top mount which is easily hidden like the Eaton is.

    Hmmm, I was going to use CAPA and the Vortech unit. Sounds like not the way to go tho.

    So who fits the Eaton units out here? In Sydney? Looks like the Magna Charger is 'just' an Eaton blower?

    Am toying with the idea of supercharging a SSV ute.

    Only good for the Holden engine, not the LS3. Looking to supercharge and intercool an VE SSV.
    This would be fine if I was gonna keep the VS, but she's reached her use by date....
