Well I guess Stillen might be outta the picture for me, I was leaning toward them cus I thought it was going to be a twin-screw, but since it's going to be simalar to GTM's kit, I'm going to see which one will be more reliable for everyday driving. I'll be more then happy with 450Hp/350tq.

get back on over to the stillen thread we are breathing new life into the twin screw on the order of the brand new vts units from vortech. the now own part of opcon autorotor which is the number 1 oem supplier of twin screw blowers.

Have they clearly confirmed what kind of SC they're using other than saying it's a Vortech unit? At this point, it could be this centrifugal unit (SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-3 Series Supercharger | Vortech Superchargers) or it could be this twin-screw one (VTS Twin-Screw Supercharger Systems Featuring Lysholm Technology | Vortech Superchargers). I think the only clue they've given so far is that it's internally lubricated.

vortech is going centrifugal so COME ON SHOOTOUT!

you can run N2O safe you just have to spend a little more than the base kit, That being said N2O is the cheapest Power adder and its safe as long as your not dumb and put a 250 shot on a stock block 125 is max on a stock block safely.


I can wait to see what the #'s are on this SC


DAN

Agree'd. Not sure if anyone is following my nitrous thread but im almost done installing my nitrous kit. Running a 100shot, might go abit bigger if i feel the car can handle it. But if i end up buying the SC kit, ill drop the nitrous down to a 50 or 75shot until i get the engine built.

Yeah, I just read the latest update on the other thread. I'd love to see a shootout as well! When we eventually see the dynos from both kits, I'll be looking especially close at how the power curves compare from 3000-6000 rpms and don't really care too much if one puts out a bit more peak power than the other at 7200-7500.

Any Monday updates SAM??

u must have been spending too much time on here (that or they found out you were in the Gent's Lounge;) )

should be very interesting to see how GTMs Rotrex + air/air SC will compare to the Stillens Vortech + air/water SC

JB-370z 01-07-2010 11:04 AM

Hope the network is up and running today Sam! Would love to see all of the progress you have done for the first week of the new year!

:iagree: Peak doesnt mean a whole lot to me compared to how much gain there is thru all the rpm range. I want power that is there all the time and not just a high peak number thats there for a sec or two.

Now a question I have is how will a SC be different on a AT compared to a manual? Or since we can use the paddles would there even be a difference? Maybe some cuz the gears are alittle different?

the liquid cooled air should produce lower intake temps, may see a few extra ponies compared to an air cooled setup.

Not only that Stillen is modifying the turbine wheels to decrease the lag that is inherent in centrifugal superchargers. Thier new intake will also improve low end torque too. I can't wait until everything is completly unvieled from both. It really sounds like Stillen has put some extreme engineering into this kit. I am still on the fence until I see the results on paper and feedback from the brave who first jump on the kits.
