Hello every one,
i need some input about the Vortech supercharger system or even any other system.

my current setup is a lifted 4x4 on 35's....would a vortech work well with this set up......or even what other superchargers would?


thanks for your help '

Daniel

 

My suggestion is to do some research on the forums here, starting with the Chips and Tuners forum. Reliable and safe tuneing is the place to start.

Well i have down alot of reading and research....its just theres some much to chose from.....i would like some input from others...

 

Yes, the Net has created quite the candy store. I had a Powerdyne BD-11a which I ran for about 6 months, and two months ago swithched to a Paxton Novi 2000. I like the Paxton a lot, but my truck is the lightest if the 97'+ models. IMO a big truck with more weight would do better with a pos dis s/c like the Whipple, Magnacharger, or the Rousch to get more low end power.
Here's a good thread, but it may require some editing.

i have the vortech on my 05 screw.at this point im not so happy with it(blown motor at 12psi-bad horrible tune).when i first put it on with the factory preditor tune it was a pretty good gain but then i started messing with it.if you decide on the vortech take it somewhere and get it tuned by some1 that knows what he's doing,another thing is get a egt gauge so you can see whats going on.and if its not re-geared for the bigger tires make shure and do that also

 

well i do have gears, i wont be runnig 12 psi.....8psi at the most.......but compare to stock.....how was the gains wiht the vortech?

 

you can definatly feel it but i really couldnt tell you cause it definatly needed a custom tune.the low end was crappy until about 3 grand then it picked up fast but my buddy has the procharger kit and a custom tune and that thing moves like no other from dead stop to 100.

 

F-j150,
So there is a definate lack in low end with a centrifical displacement Blower...that makes me reconsider my choice since you have first hand experience...

 

get a roots or twinscrew, (allan, whipple, roush)
i have a vortech on an 01 screw and yes it is faster , but the 60 ft times are not effected and pulling a travel trailer, the vortech offers no help unless it is a passing situation.

 

yea but like i said my buddys got the procharger on his 05 4x4 screw on 37's and his is a big rocket after he got it tuned.but maybe some1 else has more input on the new trucks with the centris i never really got to really see its potential.im getting a jdm longblock and going to be boosting 18psi here in a month or so. then ill let you know

 

18 psi from a Vortech?

 

Depending on what the heads will flow, you might be able to pulley that S-trim to make 18psi, it is a potent little blower. At 18psi, even with a built block make sure you have a spot on tune, otherwise you will be building another block.

 

Yeah those s-trims will pull 18-20lbs, lots of the 4.6 stangs are doing that and getting well over 500rwhp..

 

yea it will be a jdm 3v longblock.those come with stage 2 heads and i was going to maybe upgrade to the t-trim but they want like 1300 for an upgrade.so ill wait until my 1 year warranty is close to being up. and i desperetly need to find a great tuner in my area
