I'm back! Most of you don't know me since I'm in Upstate NY though. I sold my 2000 Silver Prowler about a month ago for a Lamborghini Kit. Woops. That was dumb.
I took delivery today of its replacement, a 2000 Red Prowler. Supercharged with all the goodies from Paxton. It's super fast.

Any driving tips for a Supercharged car? I know it has 8 pounds of boost, that's about it. No clue on anything beyond that.

Cheers!

If you don't have gears get them, huge difference. If you have the standard kit take off the canister around the aircleaner, good for a couple more lbs of boost, right Laddie???

BTW, I blew mine up, 16 lbs of boost, careful.

If you hear any detonation back the timing off. ASAP

HAY, Welcome back.

Hey Gary.........

No gears installed, max boost I've seen is about 8. It holds 3rd gear a little long at 6500rpm but it does function.

Hey Ben
did you the Paxton Cat. Or did you just buy a cat with the supercharger on it. My advice just leave it the way it is. I have gears and the pulley upgrades. Gonna get the x-pipe from paxton as well, and waiting to see what's going on with the intercooler. 92 octane gas or better.

A good friend sold me his Prowler, he had the Paxton unit installed. Also had headers put in as well I beleive?

Only advice I've heard is to wait till the engine is warm before driving......
