This is exactly the info I was looking for, but now its making my decision harder!

Do any of you have the aftercooler for the s/c? Is it worth the $$?

Another good thing with Vortech, is that you can send them your S trim and they will upgrade it to a T-trim configuration, which pumps out between 1200-1600cfm. I believe they told me it takes about 21 working days. My biggest complaint with them is there customer service. If I had to buy a blower on customer service alone it would be Comptech.

aftercooler comes automatically with the vortech..... if you opt for the comptech you can get it with the aftercooler or without the aftercooler... but you might as well get the aftercooler with the comptech. it's only 500 bucks more.... (if you end up opting to purchase the aftercooler at a later date it'll cost you $1100)

Some how I knew Skip was going to have me spending more $$$.

I am leaning toward the Vortech at this point. The list keeps growing for stuff, as the car is pretty much stock now.

Have any of guys replaced the BOV with another brand, Greddy etc...?
