The difference between the Whipple setup and the ProCharger is the ProCharger is designed for higher rpm driving, hence the feel of lag off the start.
Both have their respective place. Chad made the right decision for daily driving and power where it counts without sacrificing drivability. super chargers and pro chargers are mechanically driven. both are designed to give instant response. turbos lag No. They are different. Whipples, Magnacharger, Eaton's are PD (positive displacement) or roots type blowers. They deliver boost linearly so as RPM's increase the boost remains constant. Procharger, A&A, etc are centrifugal blowers. They build boost as RPM's rise so you won't see power gain until the boost is raised at higher RPM's. That is why they have a lag. PD blowers are better for low end torque and lower RPM vehicles...that's why you seem them as better applications for trucks. Centrifugal blowers are better for high RPM vehicles like sports cars where you want max HP at redline. Here's a good explanation.... https://www.redline-motorsports.net/supercharging-roots-vs-centrifugal/

Dang there Rickybobby! I'm going to venture a guess you are gonna go through tires a bit more quickly. Congrats! If Wade had it he would just get stuck faster. Faster? Idk how much faster he could get stuck. He bogs down in wet grass.

i'm aware of the difference of consistent vs progressive boost. but both are mechanically driven and both produce boost at low rpm vs a turbo that needs to "spool up" or in other words, "lag"
