Vortech SC installation
It appears that one of the most time consuming aspects of the Vortech SC installation is the removal of the oil pan to tap a drain fitting. I'm curious as to why on one has purchased the oil drain line and fitting used by Comtech which drains the SC return oil through a modified oil drain plug?

straight from vortech FAQ's-
37. Can I use the existing drain on the oil pan to return the oil from the Vortech supercharger?
No. It is imperative that the oil return be higher than the level of the oil in all instances. The oil must be drained gradually downward with no dips, allowing the oil to enter the oil pan above the oil level. Drain restrictions, kinks or returning the oil below the oil level may cause a severe windage problem that consumes significant power and generates heat, supercharger seal failures may also result
