With Vortech producing the system again, I've been thinking. I believe when summer comes I"ll be dropping in a Vortech. I know many of you will say to simply go with the Streetflight, but I've made up my mind. However when it comes to my SVT i want everything done correctly the very first time. So I was hopping one of the Forced Induction guys could tell me exactly what i need to put on a bullet proof setup. I would like all issues(shaft,ect...) to be taken care of before I ever put it on the car....
I've read earlier where Buckshot can re-enforce the shaft or something like that, however I"m not sure. I'd appreciate all the info you can provide. Thanks

Trading it in for a Street Flight kit.  Stay away from the Vorcrap S/C kit - revised or not  Not to mention - You can get much better performance gains from a well built 3L

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Send the shaft to KnuKonceptz for reinforcement. Get an aftercooler setup from me. Upgrade to 24-30lb injectors, get a chip from Streetflight. Go with a 255 walbro fuel pump. Should be it as far as fortifying the vortech itself.

Isn't the shaft re-enforcement like $1200 or something??

I paid $275 for the shaft reinforcement. It is a must. I got it from Knuconcepts.

You must be thinking of the intercooler, I thought the shaft upgrade was like $2-400.

I just don't understand why someone would want the Vortech. You can probably size a turbo to emulate the power curve of the Vortech with probably 75ft/lbs more tourqe all the way across the board. Doesn't make sense to me.

Question- What do you need for a bullet proof Vortech S/C?
Answer- A RWD Mustang
They bit off way more than they could chew on the FWD Contour. Bastages!
