Nearly a bar of boost and you are only making 350whp? I wouldn't call that a selling point. We have three dyno sheets where the unmodified 6lb Comptech kit WITHOUT aftercooler produces 315whp. With aftercooler you are around 335whp without further modification. You needed 5lbs more boost, injectors, and a $2000 computer to make 15hp. And yes, one of the Comptech-equipped guys here makes well north of 350whp with the bells and whistles.

As for the reliablity of the two kits, I'll refrain from calling out a certain members Vortech problems.

There are obviously reasons why the locals are choosing the Comptech kit over the Vortech time and again.

 

keep the vortech kit. i have no problems at all. who cares if its ugly, its not like your going to drive around without your hood or anything. And if you show it to people they're not going to say "thats an ugly supercharger" instead you'll hear "dayum!" i made 313whp on a dynojet with stock boost. i say thats good enough. keep that shiznit.

 

Sure, find me a dyno with a stock boosted Comptech putting out 335 rwhp?


Stock my car as a baseline did 196
Just the blower it did 310
Added pulley, injectors, computer it did 361 but we bumped the timing back for reliability and it did 350 through the stock exhaust minus a test pipe.


Maybe I should get an exhaust at some point, but I like quiet speed...
