I have a vortech unit and im very happy with it. I think the Vortech unit is the better unit (not trying to start any arguments). I like the fact that vortech has a totally servicable inter-cooler, all aluminum plumbing, larger charger(standard system), everything in the kit needed to do the install and a remaped ecm.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

What are you looking to do ?????? Go faster than Scott. LOL Remember... when you got a blower you dont have to prove how fast your boat is. Just hold them in suspence for a while, then when the time is right show them who's boss

If I had to do it again I would use a larger blower like a 6:17 or go with a whipple. You wont have to worry about a thing with a wipple. Other than your drive. But thats the price you pay with big HP. I am counting the days till mine blows Hope all is well.Ill be on the river this weekend. But I'm heading to long island sound to do some fishing.
