I can't say exactly what the power range goal will be because there are many variables to that question.

I can confirm that the unit we are using is capable of reaching some pretty high horsepower levels. Exactly what they are, I don't know yet, I'll have to check with the engineers to confirm that. The biggest factor is going to depend on which kit the customer purchases. We will be going after CARB legality with this kit so we will be limited a little bit however just like our other superchargers in the past, we will be offering different stages for higher power levels. Also, for the guys looking to go all out and do some custom tuning and what not, we are hoping to have a package to accomodate you as well.

Price range, I don't know yet. Again, this is something that can change as time goes on. We have an idea of what we would like to offer the kit for but we just don't know until everything is completed and we have an entire list of parts and costs.

I'm not sure yet about the boost levels, again for the standard kit we will be limited by CARB testing but the good thing about the Vortech units is their ability to build boost so for our more aggressive stage kits, we will be able to offer higher boost levels.

Yeah, Im in Florida. Regulations are more or less non existent here. Definitely looking forward to those other stages. Thanks for the prompt answers. Im sure others will have plenty of questions.

Cannot wait to see what this kit is going to offer as far as numbers are concerned. Also im sure its going to be a nice looking kit. Not to mention the ablity to up the boost down the road if ya get power hungry, now this is a nice option. Chargers sure are evolving for the best!!! Thanks Kyle for not keeping us out in the rain for too long. Now all we need is some pics!!!!

PS: Can you tell us at least if it is a V-1, V-2 etc. charger???

I'm not to familiar with vortech style superchargers but how well does meth injection work with it. I had a M62 and TVS 1320 on my cobalt and meth allowed me to advance my timing from 16* to 26* which is alot on the LSJ engines

Aren't the higher stages the non-carb ones? It sounds to me like the only Carb approved one will be the lowest stage kit (stage 0, stage 1, whatever).

SOLISIMO 12-15-2009 03:28 PM

I have no clue man? Im sure your right though

The first part I highlighted seems like it could be interpreted either way but the second highlight seem to imply just the "standard" kit will be the CARB kit.

I'm sure Kyle will clarify soon enough but to me that's how I interpret what they've said.

SOLISIMO 12-15-2009 03:34 PM

Ok I see what your saying

LiquidZ 12-15-2009 03:43 PM

Awesome!

Buddy Revell 12-15-2009 03:55 PM

Thanks for the info, Kyle. Can't wait to see pics and dyno numbers in the coming months.

roplusbee 12-15-2009 04:07 PM

Mmm mmm. Gotta start saving, so that means no frivolous spending. Gotta make sure I'm ready for this one.

The information sounds good so far. Hopefully, we don't have to wait for the CARB cert to complete before the non-CARB kits are available.

Zsteve 12-15-2009 04:30 PM

Well Im only looking for another 80-90 rwhp so will the Vortech achieve that easlily? And does the Vortech achieve its power at the higher rpms or lower or what?

Buddy Revell 12-15-2009 04:39 PM

Wait, just to be sure, this is going to be a centrifugal unit and not those twin-screw ones they just added to their site, right?

My guess is V3 as it is the only one with a self contained oiling system in the range that they will be using.
