Default blower question

Can anyone tell me if a Vortech V1 will work on an 07 Vette LS2? Will it give good numbers?

If its a CCW (counter clockwise) rotation then yes, but you'll need appropriate bracket.

Also older V1's are loud do to straight cut gears.

We need more details such as what trim. Given its likely age I'd say don't try to save a few bucks here. Perhaps look in part for sale section for a used kit. Can't go wrong with A&A, ECS or Procharger if your in the market for a centrifugal.

Thanks for the info Mike. Not sure what trim it is. This blower had no brackets or anything with it. Just the tags on it showing what model and serial number it is. How could I tell what rotation it is? I got this thing along with some other stuff I bought out of a storage facility. I was hoping I might get lucky and be able to use it on my car.

Look at the front of the blower (inlet should face you), then look at scroll/volute (the snail shaped outside) and look in which direction it gets thicker... You will notice the outer portion goes from thin to thick as it exits out the discharge - if the thickness builds in counter clockwise direction then its counter clockwise supercharger .

Or you can call vortech with sn and they can give you all info.
