If I had it all to do over again I would say [censored] Vortech. They have proven themselves to be a really poorly operated/managed/run company. I hate to slam them, but oh well. they cost me about 5 grand over the cost of a supercharger kit... Oh well... Here is the story... I never told it until now.
I had 9.5# boost running about 94 Octane. Really solid tune. About 275FWHP and 209FWTQ. Thank you Street Flight! the S/C blew a seal (the main seal) unknown to me. In no time at all my motor consumed all of my oil and because I ran Pure Synth Amsoil, I did not blow smoke. I starved of oil and spun a bearing. I am a true jackass because I don't check my il every damn day, but Vortech won't even fix the seal for less than $500. they are like "Screw You". I did buy the kit used, but the S/C was freshly rebuilt when I got it. the guy I bought it from got it originally and had the jackshaft issue. By the time he got it back... 6 months later, he sold the 'Tour. I got the kit for what i thought was a steal. Anyway... The S/C is bad ass but Street Flight stands behind their kit and guess what??? You get some Torque too! (read:Sarcasm) i am gonna reinstall the S/C with my new 3.0L and call it damage control. I will have a badass ride, but I have many lessons learned.

Down boy...
We all know it's far inferior to the power curves of the turbo kit but you don't have to be so facetious about it and rub their face in it every chance you get.
I mean at least every other time or something...

I'd be more than happy to oblige you... You'll probably still be upset for the first 2 gears though... 
You may be upset in any of the gears if I have a Venom kit???   (Yes it's "temporary power" and I'm not a fan of nitrous but I'm itching for more power!)
Since I'm in a good mood.
I tried out 3 new programs yesterday. (also fixed the last of the exhaust leaks)
It was 98 degrees out however I was flowing more air at all rpm levels then last spring when the air was a colder and denser 50 degrees... Hmmm... 
Even the old calibrated butt dyno felt a night & day difference.

Yes perhaps we could put that debate to rest.
