S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

If you're just looking for 1/4mi don't go the SC way, go Turbo. With bolt on's and supercharger expect low to mid 12's.
And maybe 10+PSI

A stock vortech just nicks high 12's and a stock 5PSI comptech hits low 13s...no way can they hit low 12's without more then stock boost.

why does everyone with the cheaper Vortech try to claim it's better than the Comptech. While I notice not much Comptech guys seem to have anything to prove? But just enjoy..

I think a better question is, why would you pay 6K for a base supercharger that you can get for half the price in the FS section?

I don't think anyone here is really claiming is better, but its definatly more bang for the buck.

Going on MSRP,

Comptech + AC kit is about the same price as the vortech kit that comes with AC. However, the vortech stock is 7psi vs the comptech 5.5psi so the vortech is going to be a little bit faster.

Yup, but for ~$130 you can upgrade the Comptech pulley to a 4" (7#) and even it up.

Vortech makes more boost, and hence more power, than Comptech, so I guess the people who buy Comptech may start out with less to prove.
