Can't recall too many details about it except that he was still running the stock 16" alloys which means his brakes are stock or near to it which to my mind is a bit of a worry (says stock on rear and DBA on front, no mention of slotted or crossdrilled). I think the guy that owns it plans to do some circuit work which will probably stuff the brakes in no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XR6 in the magazine was running a different supercharger than yours, a much bigger one, can't recall the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what trim Vortech as to what sort of power they make. My J trim Vortech can make 28 psi if you use the correct pulleys, and from memory can flow in excess of 1200 hp. Vortech blowers are good, real good. Most of the HP hero cars used to use them before twin turbo's come in. Paxton make a good blower as well. Havent had any experience with them though. As for Powerdyne.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
