their combination aint gonna be worth sh*t. ATI has them beat like nothing. I' ve also heard that ATI has filed a lawsuit at vortech for claiming false gains on upgrading hp levels.

:Yeah its not a chevy but damn how many 71' dusters have u seen in the streets.

 

That lawsuit business is about 3 years old.

That really seems weird to hear about Vortech and Paxton.

I personally LOVE vortech stuff. Ive never heard of one of their compressors exploding or shattering an impeller while I HAVE heard of ATI stuff doing that. And Paxton, well I wont even go there since Ive dusted three of those things in my experience.

the paxton novi mustangs are FLYN'

there are more centrifugal racers in the 7s with ATI than anyone else and are almost unbeatable in renegade action in NMRA.

 

I'll second the notion that the combo isn't gonna give anyone any extra advantage, unless you consider that without any competition, the prices are gonna go up.

Personally, if I was gonna bother going to a Novi, I would skip the slipping belt ****chargers and get a twin turbo kit. For the Mustang, there are a lot of kits out there, and they run as fast as the Novi cars.

Thinking of it now, why not go for a twin turbo 420 with all the trimmings, 100hp isn't that much after all...

The smart person pays for something today so that more is received tomorrow.
The ignorant person gets something today and hopes to have enough money to pay for it tomorrow.

 

If that is the case, I only see one reason for it. one of them is goin out of business & the other is gonna buy them up to get the business (or by the rights to build the blower).

for my $, I think that I am gonna go with a turbo or 2.

Sounds like a good thing, maybe Paxton will get Vortech's customer service reps? Maybe this can get Paxton back into the game on cars other than rustanges.
Has anyone heard about that new ATI, Whipple, Powerdyne alliance?

 

Well, you are right about Paxton service reps.
