thoughts on the vortech universal carb kit...

has anyone tried it? i was reading on their website and it seems like a pretty good deal. i mean, shoot, for $2300 from jegs, i think that it would be a good deal. the supercharger is good up to 680hp too...

It looks like a really well built kit and a lot of the magazines have done tests with them and got decent results.

Ive never seen anyone around the message boards with one of the kits though.

Buy it and tell us about it.

Personally, I would run a victor Jr with a holley 4150 hp(830cfm) for racing, if its for street, then an RPM air Gap with a 650 double pumper. Just my opinion.

well, i was looking on the procharger website and they said it was advantageous to run a dual plane intake for racing applications. they also said that the 750 double pumper will support up to 900hp. i already have a holley street dominator intake, which is of course dual plane. i would love to get this thing to fit under my stock hood, just to play with the r i c e r boys some, know what i mean? and if it is true about the dual plane intake deal, then i may be able to do just that. i also don't want to spin this thing more that 6500, i plan on using the stock crank.

i don't know that the procharger info relates to all centrifugal or just their prochargers...
