Sounds like he is looking for more low end grunt and the vortech will not give him that.

With turbo lag he won't be getting much low end either. I don't know of many setups that fully spool below 3,500rpm. I see what your saying regarding power though.

The first 6 words, are the smartest 6 words.

But I love my G. And I have a passion for it, so I keep with it and will likely never sell it.

The quickest "G" I'm aware of is a tubular framed drag car that ran 8 seconds. What are you talking about?

I say that everytime I read one of his posts. The problem with forums is anyone can come on and type anything.

Doesn't have to be coherent or based off any facts or experience. Obviously.
