Default Vara Ram or Vortex

Which one would you guys recommend? Here is a link for a Vortex package that I might get http://www.breathlessperformance.com...0-050stage.asp

Are there any advantages or disadvantages of any? I heard that the Vortex is better from a few people on other forums but I wanted to here from you guys because I value everyone's opinions on this board the most :thumbs: Thanks for any info!

Edit: I have a 2000 6-speed convertible.

I had the Vortex for 4 yrs, just got the Vararam 2 months ago.

Both are great. If you plan to drag race your car, I you will definitely go faster & be more consistent with the Vararam.

If you don't plan to drag race, then cost can be the deceiding factor.

If you think your ever going to drive in the rain, I'd recommend the Vortex. Both are great but Vortex is better for a daily driver. :smash:

Yep, in my signature, going from the top down, the last 7 big wins, are all in the last 3 months with the Vararam!

I won with the Vortex too, but nothing like the consistency & quicker ET's from the Vararam! :smash:
