In MY OPINION, if you really love your car, go ahead and get a SC, you do have to realize it's a bit more risky because your car is older, good luck. But if it WAS MY car, i wouldn't have a car thats 86k miles, i would've bought a new car already.

Mine went out after about 30K miles. Bearing issue. They corrected the problem with a new style bearing.
The good news is that if your Vortech goes out just pull the blower drive belt and you can drive the car without damage. It'll just be a little sluggish because the ECU pulls timing at higher RPM's.
