[quote=saturnd00d]The guy from Speed Mafia doesn't hate our car, and I don't know where you got that from. He's regularly on turbosaturns.net and visits the ION/Ecotec forum quite frequently on there. One of the members of turbosaturns.net has a procharger newly installed into his ION 3. GOes like hell. Honestly, there's a reason that Corvette owners and the like all love procharger kits. The kits are more efficient than equivalent supercharger units out there. 7 or 8 psi through a procharger unit is equivalent to 11 or 12 psi through another blower. It's almost as efficient as a turbo, and 8 psi may very well keep up with or slightly surpass a redline.

The reason being people with small-blocks don't need low end torque. They need high end hp. Which is what a Cetri-blower is great for. You'll notice that a Corvette is not the same as a 4cyl, FWD car. I know a guy with a Camaro running a Procharger, 750+ hp, but he gets no boost till 3-4000 rpms. It's meant for high rpm power more than low rpm torque. I assure you, that if he had come on here, talkinging the smack that he did, people here would roast him. As soon as I pointed out anything good about the RL, he simply attacked me personally. There's a reason that GM built the car the way they did, instead of just throwing a cetrifigual blower on the car, which would have been much cheaper than the integrated setup they used.

He asked about the company, and I answered him. I'll be right back, and I'll post the smack that he was talking...
