where to get a S/C rebuilt?

I was wondering where to get a paxton supercharger rebuilt and about how much it would cost to get done?

paradise wheels

their number is on here somewhere, no website though, just search for the name.

For a ball drive unit, i think its around 750 dollars. That much cash dropped on a blower that will actually be a restriction on a 375hp engine is outragous.

now if you've got a novi...

You can also try EBAY. There are three auction's active right now that Paradise Wheels is offering for various Paxton SC models. Its not hard to rebuild these yourself and save $300.00, or if you want a 6 month warranty and piece of mind, go with Paradise.

Go to Ebay Motors and do a search for "Paxton Supercharger".

Hope this helps.

nightrider- you think a supercharger would be a restriction on my car is that what your saying?

and iv seen the "refresh" and "rebuild" kits they have on e-bay but i wasnt sure if it is possible for anyone basically to rebuild these. the rebuild kit is 425 and refresh kit is 125.

it depends on what paxton you have, or want

the ball drive units like the SN92 won't support much above 350 hp of air. The 93 is higher of course, i don't know the exact number, but its still not high on the performance scale. You can't overdrive the ball units either because they burn up.

I bought a SN 92 as an impulse buy. It was a "oh a supercharger!!!!!!" sort of purchase. Well after a week or so of research i discovered it would actually barely do anything for my engine (stock zz1) so i resold it.

I really really hate anyone who can impulse buy a supercharger.
