as far as the power, it is on par with other systems and boost levels. the kit is very very clean and will be approved and on the market very soon..

I've said it b4, G35 are pigs on the tracks. I laugh at people wasting money trying to get it to go fast. Look at how my TT G's are out there. Yet, not one vid of it winning a drag race. Most of the TT G's end up on autotrader.

Ummm, thats a Stillen roots type, not Vortech. Roots blowers make noise.

This vid is my car on the dyno back in Spring. The Stillen sounds sick! To those that are actually questioning the sound, you obviously haven't heard one in person. It's badass...

I guess I'm slightly biased though.

That video was of a Stillen SC. Vortech's can make so MUCH more power than a Stillen SC; they do not have the roots-type whine and sounds more like a jet. There are plenty of TT G/Z's running in the 11's. Jeremy has a 10 second Z as a matter of fact.
The problem all lies in money.
