I spoke to vortech today. The '05 6MT version should be finished in about a month or so.
I also asked about getting it in a V1 instead of a V2. They said no dice! The V1 has straight cut gears!!! (love those mechanical sounds) instead of the V2's helical cut gears. They offer the V1 for the "pushrod" kits only.
Damn, the V8 guys get all the fun.. Oh do I miss the rumble of 90* V8.
BTW, has anyone had there impeller upgraded from an SC-trim to an S-trim. the SC is essentially a cut down S-trim. Total output is about the same, but the S-trim is a little stronger without having to change pullies. (96-98 Cobra guys used to do this swap for their vortechs.)

NO!!!! With a supercharger you have more parasitic powerlosses so you get worse gas mileage. Think of it as a crank pulley that weighs 20lbs.....not the most efficient thing or good on gas mileage. A turbo is another story.
