I could only get 304rwhp but i did get 298rwt but those numbers suck for the money spent.The twins are on stock internals.I havent driven a vortech so i cant comment on that s/c but i know its more powerfull then the stillen pos.

I drove a vortech on a stock block. It's pretty damn fast. Neck and neck with my twins when vortech is at high rpms. But if I crank up the EVC it's game over for the vortech, especially off the line or under 4k rpm.

Mine has been super reliable. Unfortunately everyone was right, and now I want more power. Should have gone twin turbo and just detuned it for reliability

Looking at fuel upgrades, and other stuff that will compliment a TT setup, then a built block.

You can send your SC to superchargerebuild.com. You can get the same amount of air flow as the T-trim in your SC or S-Trim head unit for $800 or less. You still wouldn't have the torque or the TT setup, but you'll save money.

THAT is an awesome idea, has anyone done this before?

Another option is the 928 Motorsports V+ Impeller for the Vortech SC-Trim headunits. Allows you to get more boost at less SC rpm's.



<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qt8YDPGLmmQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qt8YDPGLmmQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I was able to make 20whp more on back-to-back pulles with just swapping the impeller out. Same pulley, same day, same dyno and same map. I think they are avaliable through ebay or www.928m.com .

That's not completely correct. Yes, u can out flow the S-trim but it will never out flow a T trim.
