Default Vortech trim??

I have been reading posts from people who have installed the Vortech supercharger and many of them refer to a "trim level" S or T? Can someone please explain this to me?

Nice set of toys you got there Buddy!

The different trim basically refer to the amount of boost a SC will make. The S-trim comes in a few different variations which also include a quieter running SC. The T-trim is a heavier duty SC that will produce more boost and do it sooner. There is also a YZ model that will make a boatload of boost. :yesnod:

Actually the trim level is the design of the blower impeller.
The design of the impeller can change the characteristics of the blower so far as boost levels,air flow,and impeller speeds.
