Sohos car made 900whp j7 unit I believe, surprised none of you guy have tried the c-38r especially the gtm blower set ups. It’s like you guys are stuck in the past, determined to make the v3 unit work.

What disease is this Elmo? The 1% of guys that are having issues with the blower are the guys who are pushing things to the absolute limits (and over it) or modifying it to something outside of what Vortech recommends.
The J7 only makes sense if you are going for fully built block/full suspension/full roll cage numbers. Otherwise, its an unnecessary drag on the engine. It also costs a lot more and you cant run a filter with it since it sits even CLOSER to the radiator support. The C38R doesnt fit in the area where the V3 sits as its 2 inches deeper. The GTM kit is a huge pain in the *** to install and has no way of sourcing parts or help if it needs them. Everyone knows I get them replacement parts and support asap as soon as they need them/it.
By leaving the V3 as is we can make over 650whp on my new kit with a filter which is the max for the stock block. If you want to start dumping TONS of money into the car to make 700whp+ and build the block/suspension/massive clutches/etc... then yes move into a turbo.
Just FYI, I had to replace my turbo twice, never replaced my V3.
