In this installment we take a closer look at the available options for getting a Centrifugal Supercharger for a G8. As indicated in the, it would appear a viable solution could possible be made to allow use of a Camaro kit, so I will include options from those as well.First up - Procharger's offerings.The Standard Procharger kit for a G8 seems to come with P-1SC supercharger, and a 2 Core Intercooler.

Quoting from the Procharger site we find the following description for the F-Series:Legendary ProCharger F-Series SuperchargersProCharger F-Series superchargers were designed with one simple goal: blow the competition away. Since their introduction in 2000, ProCharger's ever-expanding lineup of F-Series superchargers have continued to be the standard by which others hope to be measured, both on the track and on the street. ProCharger F-2Base HP Range of NA Engine: 425-600 HPMaximum Supercharged HP Rating: 1,600 HPMaximum Airflow: 2,700 cfmMaximum Boost: 38 psiInlet Diameter: 4.5 inchesOutlet Diameter: 3.5 inchesMaximum Impeller RPM: 65,000Internal Step-up Ratio: 5.40:1Self-Contained Oiling: YesReverse Rotation Available: YesJust looking at all these numbers will make your head spin & cross-eyed! Obviously the 'trick' is to pick the right supercharger for the given application, so that it can operate at peak efficiency (e.g.

Just because the maximum RPM is 65,000 doesn't mean you actually want to spin it to that all the time!)The F-1D seems like it would be a proper fit based on dimensions etc (F-2 for instance being bigger while nice for huge HP Numbers, may simply be too big for my goals), though some people in the Camaro scene have actually gone for the F-1R and even F-2!Ribbed or Cogged (and for whose pleasure?)As noted above the drive options seem to be 8-Rib, 12-Rib serpentine belts or a cogged setup. One of the issues with High-HP supercharger is always Belt-Slip - where you are putting out so much power the belts simply can't keep up and starts slipping. Usually a higher rib-count is used to remedy this because it offers more surface area, thus more friction to be overcome before things start slipping. For Racing applications (or people who just like 'Cool' Stuff;) ) a Cog Drive can be used which remedies this problem completely. The downside though is that this can be hard on belts when shifting etc where a normal belt would induce a little slip, the cog would simply not budge and pass on forces on to the supercharger or belt, and belt failure is not unheard of. There are however specialized Cog Pulleys available that can 'Free-wheel' to mitigate this problem, though they can be on the pricey side, like theCamaro Kit with Standard Belt DriveCamaro Kit with Cog DrivePersonally I would think for my build at least a 12-rib would be called for, but a Cog Setup does have a certain appeal as well - The extra 700 for a specialized pulley seems a bit excessive though!Which 'F-Series' is the one to pick though for my build?
The F-1D seems like a the go-to model right now, (especially since 'gr8lover' already did an so that could be handy for reference/help/etc) though I won't know for sure until I see what Vortech has to offer.As a closing note, I find it interesting that for all Procharger units they are listed as having a reverse rotation (CCW) option available as well. You would think with some proper solid mounting options they could have come up with a solution with a forward facing CCW unit which would greatly enhance the intake location by having it right behind the drivers-side headlight.
