Daily Driver vortech?
ill let you know how the HKS blower sounds when i get it on my 03. if the HKS sounds like other rotrex blowers ive heard, its sounds 100x better than the vortech and ATI blowers that sound like they are self destructing anytime they are spinning

quick question for you guys that daily driver with the vortech what injectors do you guys run and also spark plugs do you us the stock ones? or different ones and how aften do you change them on the how to for vortech they say ever 15,000 miles? this true?
It will be hard for us Vortech owners to hear it because we'd be car lengths up the road by the time it spins up. For the price as a 340 whp HKS setup you can have an ~500 hp T-Trim vortech setup. Although, I guess saying its JDM and having to use 1 off parts from GTM , and waiting 6 months or more if something goes wrong with the unit wit well worth the price of admission!

All you do is badmouth shops and setups that you do not have actual experience with, but continually nuthug RA and Vortech. You usually get owned in almost every thread that you try to sound educated about. Im surprised you even continue to post. I think most of the forum is sick of you...
btw, my HKS S/C setup peaks at 12 psi and puts out 400 whp/415 lbs.trq.

im not his friend but im not sick of him.
so what if he talks about shops, etc. i nut hug vortech too. i nug hug PF too. cant you tell?
its an OPINION. im not trying to stir the pot, but dont let the e drama get to you.
my .02
my goal is to run at least 370rwhp and 3350rwtq, will the vortech sc v-2 sq kit get me there? or would the v3 be a better choice? also i am going to run stock psi, so 8 or 9 psi, agian, i don't plan on putting internal mods, and i want the car to run fine for at least a couple years b4 i have to rebuild, of course i will be getting a valve body upgrade and i already have the osiris tune with cipher. oh and i don't do tracks, and i only have the urge for a spirited drive once or twice a week, but not for a long moment

if my HKS self destructs like most of the vortech blowers do, then ill give in to your statement.
until i have no problem with a friendly debate.
Most? very few. You know how many people own vortech blowers on the VQ platforms. I would guess as many as all the other FI options combined. It only seems prevalent bc people post when things go wrong.
JonnyLaw made great #'s but thats completely 1 off, as no other HKS setup comes anywhere close to those #'s. You woulda had to put Nitrous on Marbles or G35(7)rider's car to make anywhere close to that.
Plus, for that price, you'd be running a T-trim which no one has had problems with.
Either option though is better than stock, just depends on your budget.
