After installing my vortech the car felt MUCH faster!How some people can say its not much faster is beyond me!I made one pass down the 1/4 mile and turned a 13.1 @ 109mph with no launch.Not much faster eh?????Driving a naturaly aspirated s now feels VERY slow.And for all of those people who think i dont know how a turbo car feels just look at my sig.Happy motoring!
Sure you have a turboed car but it isn't a s2k, can't really compare

hey there guy's I have to put my input on this.. I started out as n/a, then bought a used vortech kit and had it installed and tuned... I could keep up with most 600cc street bike's till about 100mph on the streets.. I sold my vortech b/c I blown the headgasket out of it.. Now I'm waiting on my custom 2.5mm headgasket and going turbo.. I just want to hit the 500 rwhp mark and I will be happy... but as far as I see this gose for the guy who dumped over 5 grand on his blower.. he should have asked everyone 1st what he should have gotten in the 1st place.. I wish I would have done that before doing what I did .. oh well

I went boost becauew I wanted more power, I knew that making more power would be a lot easier with turbo...

because you've never been in a turbo s
i first had a stock comptech, then a 14psi 380whp s/c and im now going turbo...
the amount of extra torque a turbo kit makes over a supercharger at the same psi can be prettty impressive
once you get the fi bug.. you only want more... and going turbo.. in the long run is cheaper and bigger numbers are possible

how could a 14psi SC get only 381WHP?
Vortech units make pretty much the same power at 14psi as well.

Sc Beats the Turbo on one Account only...

For me Turbo just doesnt cut it for me on this account.
