Which one would you recommend between stillens supercharger or greddy's turbos? Looking for reliable and still put power down. Don't want to blow anything or have issues later on because of it. Thanks
The Vortec CAN get up to 500 RWHP on stock motor. But I wouldn't recommend it. 425-450 is as high as I would go on stock internals depending on the model (some have weaker con rods), the age and mileage/condition of the motor. Keep it under 8 psi and you should be fine.
If you want to see big power down the road go for what I did. I was about to pull the trigger on a Vortech V3 Si kit w/3.25 pulley but then ran into a freshly rebuilt Greddy 18G TT kit.
Tune for a safe power level. When she blows months/years down the road swap a shortblock in, beef up the injectors, and tune for 500+HP.
Go Vortech if you don't think you'll get power hungry down the road. I'm the type that would be posting a Vortech for sale ad in a year if I pulled the trigger so I took this route... my o2.
