Paxton vs webers...

[gsharapa]

Funny I saw this thread pop up today and said to myself I though I posted something about webers and paxton superchargers in the past and sure enough there's my post from 9 years ago. Since this post I had webers on a 1966 GT350R Tribute car and my opinion is the same as most. Both have the WOW factor but it really depends more on what you plan to do this your Cobra. It you plan to track it I personally think the webers would be better as coming out of the corners you have the instant acceleration down low. If you are just street driving and some drag racing I like the supercharger better as the boost really makes HP and sounds cool. The neat thing about supercharging at low boost ie; 8 to 16 PSI most everything is bolt on but with webers to get the same HP you need more internal performance parts. My post for 9 years ago talks about the increase fuel pressure and ignition retard you need with a supercharger but again all bolt on stuff...I did a real nice story for Superformance (SCOF) owners group on installing a old Paxton Supercharger on a Cobra which they published in their newletter and I think you can get a copy on their SCOF site if any one is interested in putting a old Paxton on a Cobra. Here are a few pics of the Paxton on my SPF back then and the Webers on my Mustang. This SPF with the Paxton actually showed up on Ebay last year for sale and still looked great.....
