I pushed 560+ hp out of a V1 S-trim.

Great blowers, very efficient. They do require high pressure oil and drain.

I probably should have bought another generic vortech kit than the procharger I picked up. I did get a good deal on the procharger, but the fit and finish is kind of bad. The whole bracket design is an epic failure.

Most people save up and get to buy one kit in their lifetime, and need to justify in their mind that it was the best they could get.

I've had MANY

Re: v1 vortech superchargers

I don't see why not. You may or may not need to alter the discharge plumbing but that's pretty common with anything other than factory TPI.
