2. As far as tq goes....at least ur getting ur power right away while turbo people have to get their RPMs way up in order for the power to really start to kick in.

3. Superchargers start working at 2000 RPM. and in my opinion (and i know people will hound me about this cuz they don't understand what opinion is)

4. but turbos are for imports and superchargers are for domestics. turbos require custom headers and exhaust, turbo times for precision, and a sh!t load of work to get it in. I don't like turbos becuase i don't really like the sound of blow off valves, it gives away what u got.


Obviously you do not do much research.

1. This "upgraded" shaft has failed numerous times as well.
Then there is the harmonics issue which destroys the front seal and bearings of the S/C unit itself.
Then there is Vortec's utter lack of warranty or customer service. Then there is their ridiculous replacement part prices.
Shall I go on...

2. Again with the clueless retort. The S/C does not make any appreciable power over a STOCK engine until past 4500rpm. How is that for having to wait for it. Not only that but to really ring any real HP numbers out of the setup you have to spin the engine well past 7000rpm (I.E. bearing failure - time for upgraded internals!)

The turbo makes fat power from 3000 to redline. How about flatline TQ of 260+ the entire time vs maybe 200-210 only at peak (5500-6000rpm) from the vortec and only once it spins fast enough to make any boost.

3. Maybe a roots/screw style S/C but not a centrifugal S/C. Study up a little more.

4. ...and apparently ignorance is for you... (damn at this point I really hope you are a troll otherwise you are beyond help)
