What are the major differences among supercharger systems?
The two biggest issues are the type of supercharger utilized in the system, and the design of the intercooler. Roots superchargers are the least efficient superchargers, which means that they consume the most power to turn the supercharger itself, and produce the most heat. Centrifugal superchargers are the most efficient, which means that they consume the least power and produce the coolest air. Intercooler design is also very important. If a system utilizes an extremely undersized intercooler with even a reasonably efficient supercharger, the system will produce excessive heat, limited power gains, and reduced engine longevity. With the advanced thermal design of ProCharger Marine intercoolers, not only is the heat rejection capability per cubic inch outstanding, the overall size and total heat rejection capabilities of these intercoolers is far superior to others. For example, the ProCharger AW-324 intercooler core will remove far more heat than a competing intercooler core, which i
