Procharger or Vortech ?

[ProTeal55]

Speedster--> Thanks for the info. I do plan on doing a low cost/low boost application to start, and then move onto larger amounts of boost as my funds allow.

I am looking more for the best fitting kit. I have heard nothing but good things about the Vortech "kit" , as it is pretty complete, and you dont have to deal with the Procharger bracket nightmares.

Would I be better off "putting togther" a kit for my application ? Such as a compressor from Vortech, a bracket and pullet setup from another company, carb. hat from another , etc... ?

I really am not a fan of the Vortech carb box thing...:bsjerk:

ProTeal55-

Which ever one you choose, I would get "the kit". Both companies did a lot of research on their systems - no reason for you to reinvent (and finance) it. I was originally going to use a Vortech YS Trim kit, but went a little crazy on the top end of the motor, so ended up with a cog drive Procharger F-2.
The only thing you might consider is going a little larger rather than smaller on blower size. That way there are no regrets if and when you want to "turn it up".

One more brain fart - if you do order a Vortech kit, get it without the "box" if you are using a true blow through carb. It is redundant. Then all you need is a hat.

I totally agree, its alot cheaper to turn it up than it is to upgrade to a bigger blower....

I need to upgrade my carb anyways, thus a new Blow-Thru carb will be needed. Plus, I realy cant stand the look of that Vortech box anyways. So that works out.
All about a polished carb hat...

What would be a good Vortech blower for simple amounts of boost to start, but give me some kinda room to grow in the future ? Something like a YS ?

At this point you probably want to contact the following:
1.) Call Vortech at (805) 247-0226.
2.) Call Superchargers4Less at (866) 564-9777.3.) Call SuperchargersOnline at (818) 340-9229.
Check with these three different sources and see if they recommend the same thing based on the info you give them. If two or more match, you're good to go.

Not trying to hi-jack the thread, but I'm researching the same things as Klaus and ProTeal55. With a Vortech, how do you control the amount of boost? Is there a waste-gate included w/the kit?

Ahhh, nevermind I see it's via the pulley size.
