Vortech!

vortech is not a turbo company. Sts makes a bolt in kit. The also make a generic kit that's a little cheaper. Turbonetics and masterpower are good companies for just the turbo if you plan to build your own kit

Yea screw the ricer turbo and get a Vortech.

you have a lot of learning to do. turbos make much more hp then a supercharger and with less boost. centrifical supercharger like vortech makes about 12hp/psi a turbo kit will get you about 20hp/psi. tell tim lynch that turbos are for ricers. he has a 6 second turbo mustang. heres a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SApphqLwCwM

i had a vortech on my mustang for a long time. it was noisy, got really hot and didnt make the hp i wanted. i know run twin turbos on my fox and love it. they sound awsome, the boost level is controlled by the push of a button and the hp for such a low amount of boost is amazing. the sound of a v8 + the sound of a turbo = sex!

Well if you just have to have a turbo,then I say put one of each on turbo plus a super charger best of both worlds.

lower cost is the only benefit vortech has to offer

Yeah and since the vortec isnt a roots type blower it doesnt even deliver the torque curve in the lower rpm range, those centrifical superchargers IMO dont have any use, If I was looking for a lot of torque in the lower rpms I would go with a roots type blower, if I wanted the maximum power and performance the only way is turbo(of course with turbo you can get them to spool up almost instantly and have the torque down low too).

A buddy of mine has a hellion turbo on his stang... Do they have a kit for an f150? I suppose it would be a good idea if there was. hes got just under 500 hp to the wheels.
