Apparently the Vortech is a fairly new product.

I would sure like to hear experiences, both with installation and driving impressions on the Vortech or any other superchargers.

I've just got to have one of these. Can't believe the hp loss per the recent post on "Altitude". I've never driven this car below a "mile high"!!!!!

If I could just get it to the rwhp like most of you get at or near sea level, I'd be happy!

Are you sure that the supercharger kits for the LS6 that are designed to run in a C5 will work in your SS?

That Magnusson would look pretty good under the hood. I probaly wouldn't have to buy an intake either.

Vortech has been around a long time, great company, never read anything bad about them.
