mfg Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Removing an even number of load springs, which are located inside the pressure plate assembly of a Paxton ‘SN’ supercharger, is an accepted way of lengthening the life of the ball drive unit……True?

r1lark Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Not knowing much about the Paxton blowers...........I'm going to say false. My reasoning is that removing springs will make the ball drive assembly even more likely to slip and damage the balls and races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for what it’s worth, I knew someone who owned a really nice Stude Avanti R2 that made the car a ‘trailer queen’ He removed four (?) springs from the supercharger pressure plate, reasoning that if he never ran the engine up into the ‘boost’ range’, the Paxton supercharger’s drive unit would last indefinitely….
