EVERYBODY else has had issues with the supercharger.

At least the turbo kit hasn't failed, problems have only come up because people are putting them on older engines or some real bright ones run around without an intercooler ( , not naming anyone!) BUT the kit has had ZERO problems, which is evidence of the years of R&D put into it. So, if you have the $3500 laying around for the vortech, day trade in some biotech stocks for a week, and make the additionally $1500 to get the turbo kit.



I must be one of those three. No problems so far. I have been running SC'd since November 2001. I am trouble free, except I need to get a Street Flight chip. I run autox and open track. I have over 350 miles of hard track time with no troubles. but, all the folk on this board make me nervous.
