The Vortech is Good, you don't hear as much about it, because there are other options out there that require less moving of components around the engine, which sometimes can result in belt problems. When the Vortech is done right, it is a Great system that produces great power. Just make sure that whoever is installing it has experience with the Vortech kits.
Good Luck.

Default vortech supercharger

I live in the same city as Vortech and my cousin is getting me the deal on the supercharger. He also got one of the engineers at Vortech to install it for me, so i lucked out! I also get my work done by andy at a and a corvette in my same city, who is a great person to deal with, not to mention a great tuner, so i lucked out all the way around!

Andy is one of the best when it comes to supercharging a vette. I wish he would open another shop in FL.

Default vortech

I have had a vortech on my daily driven C5 vette for 2 years now. I have had absolutely no negative issues with the charger. It was the best mod I ever made. No words can describe the power difference. HIGHLY recommended. I do think the key is proper install and tune. Make sure you get the right guys to work on your car!

I had a Vortech on my '93 Cobra. If I ever put a blower on my Z06, it'll be a Vortech, too. I trust the name and had great experiences with the blower and the company.
